Nothing I could see that would make it fail when I was down there AL! you've been quite meticulous in bringing her up to scratch. Heck, if it does fail it will be on something completely stupid like mine did

I'm more nervous at MOT time than I was when any of the kids were being born!

Re: I have become an Activa owner...Project Stictiva-V6
I always find if i'm confident in it passing they will find something i completely overlooked. The 206 went in and I was sure it would pass, having just spent the week doing the last few jobs. failed for a blowing exhaust (the clamp had finally given up and there was a button sized hole in the olive of the backbox) inner CV boot and then the kicker, corrosion within 30cm of a suspension mounting point. then the brakelight and headlight played funny buggers and blew ON THE WAY to the stationCitroJim wrote:Absolutely agreechinkostu wrote:Stickyfinger wrote:AAgggggggggggggggggggggggg......MOT booked for Friday morning at 10am........

I worry myself to a gibbering wreck made of jelly...

said corrosion? on the stupid bloody lip that sits under the bonnet scoop for the cabin air intake. it had rotten right through, but as it was attached to the strut tower itself, was a fail
I took the Saxo in many, many years back and it failed on bloody bulbs of all things

Re: I have become an Activa owner...Project Stictiva-V6
Centre console comes out in the usual way with the armrest folded back and the drivers seat set fully aft (and maybe reclined a bit).
Also (assuming there is too much movement in the handle) check the amount of movement in the arm on each caliper first, you can't adjust the cable to compensate for a seized adjuster in the caliper.

Re: I have become an Activa owner...Project Stictiva-V6
Yep, as Mike says, motor the seats right back and recline the seat with the armrest back as far as possible.. Until it squashes into the back seat. You then will have loads of room...
