MOT fail but nothing to worry about

Unread post by KennyW »

Hi All,


Car failed MOT but I expected same but it did help to confirm my suspicions.

My culprit for knocking on offside front , the axle bush.

Rubber cover on front nearside drop link

FOS tyre

Finally, headlight alignment caused by the rear suspension rising to high when switched on and driving.

The final one is the puzzler because I have not touched the rear suspension at all. But the anti roll bar has lost it's paint coat at ARB lever and may be being affected by rust.

I'm in possession of the drop link, axle bush and tyre, just need to sort rust readjust height and hopefully that's it.

But the misses and I are off to the Outer Hebrides for her birthday so won't get done until I return.

Using the C3 for the trip, it will enjoy the run.

That's a shame Kenny but none of them are mega issues. Enjoy your trip!
