MOT day today

[Derek]

Morning all.
MOT day today for wee zippy
I bought her with a years ticket on her so it's the first MOT Iv put her through. Hopefully she passes as I've checked over most things I could think of and fixed quite a lot over the past year so if she fails on anything it will be something I've overlooked.
Wish me luck

 

[Tracy Dee]

Good luck

Any news yet @Derek, always like to hear good news.

[Shelly]

Good luck with your MOT today @Derek

 

[andyglym]

Good luck, hope all has gone well.

 

[Grumps]

Come on @Derek. Don't keep us all in suspense!

 

[MRH1966]

Hope it has passed!!

 

[Shelly]

Did your Z pass @Derek
The mot places must be closed now

 

[Derek]

hey all thanks for the good luck however it was a fail. track rod end excessive play and headlights not aligned to low...

just after the emission test however the car decided to spit the dummy out and blow a hose off the coolant pipe and p*** itself all over the MOT ramp.

so I'm on my way to go recover the car from the garage and take it to my garage and spend the next few nights sorting it out



sorry it wasn't good news

 

[Shelly]

Hopefully next time it will pass
Good luck and keep us updated

 

[Jack Ratt]

Easy fixes though @Derek

 

[Grumps]

Not much there to put right Derek.

 

[MRH1966]

My old punto did the same!! coolant pipe........water all over the station......mine was rad though......
Not too bad.....easy fixes.....good luck

 

[Derek]

yeah hopefully get it re tested next week. parts are on order as i type this.

Thanks all for the kind words and encouragement

 

[BMBabe]

Oh no don't like seeing bad news but the good news is out with the really old parts and some nice new ones to get your zed going

 

[DavidM]

These things happen - should sail through next time, now that the faults have been identified, including any others that arise in your pre-check before testing - good luck!

 

[Derek]

so is it worth replacing the inlet manifold gasket whilst i have it off??

 

[t-tony]

If you've had to remove the inlet manifold, definitely replace the gasket, not worth the risk of leaving it on.

Tony.

 

[Derek]

[Antm72]
