Drago's annual M.O.T. sweepstake

[Proto]

Brake pipes corroded. Number plate light defective. Excessive handbrake travel.

If you ever sell it @Drago you never know, someone on here may need a well looked after tank !

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

Now if it was really a tank I would want to buy it

possibly more than a tractor!!!

Probably find your Volvo has developed incontinence as well.

If you want an honest MOT take it to your Local Authority VTS, they don't do repairs for the public, so they don't have a financial reason to fail it unless it's faulty.

Under trays and sill covers fitted

Piston Broke???

I hope he doesn't go for a session before taking it in.

Advisory on not having an ABBA or Cardigans CD on a constant loop.

 

[HMS_Dave]

It'll pass i reckon.

 

[gbb]

Advisory for contamination to brake lines. That's always an innocuous one....they're dirty

Except they're not!

Did you know - adopts best Michael Caine voice - that testers are expressley instructed during training not to put the old "...covers fitted..." chicken clause on the sheet, yet most still do it. Advisories and fails only should be listed.

An old friend of mine some years back had a golf mk2. Much of the floor and sills were pretty much completely dissolved. He stuffed it with so much newspaper, glue and other crap that you would have enough reading literature in there to last a thousand years. He plastered over it with filler, applied copious amounts of waxoyl and passed it's MOT with the remark of undersealant under car, or something like that. It survived the prods of the MOT tester and then sold it. Haven't spoke to him for years, if he isn't in the nick then he's probably still doing dodgy car repairs!

OK, if that one's out I'll go with steering rack gaiter or ball joint dust cover damaged or deteriorated

 

[figbat]

Put me down for brake ineffective or imbalance.
