Mot checks? - mcglynn - 19-09-2013
Hi guys, cars going for its mot tomorrow, and 306 specific things I should check?
Done lights, horn, washers, front wiper, tyres, left track rod end and right handbrake cable, any others?
Any help appreciated

Jack her up and look at the CV boots.
Get a lever bar on the ball joins and see how they are
Handbrake on, leave it in gear and deliberately stall it see how the handbrake is
Check the seatbelts work (inertia reel)
The rear seats all lock in place and so on
RE: Mot checks? - mcglynn - 19-09-2013
Thanks dude, ill have a gander here!
RE: Mot checks? - 4WayDiablo - 19-09-2013
Oh. And the airbag light. Common fault on a 306 which is now a fail (overlooked in most places though)
RE: Mot checks? - mcglynn - 19-09-2013
No airbag light thankfully!

Is it just me they don't do pre mot checks. Jusy leave it for mot men to find. Got 2 weeks to correct shit.

Id rather jack it up and do a quick visual check on things to save paying the retest fee and buying the parts anyway lol

Most places around here offer free retest
RE: Mot checks? - Poodle - 21-09-2013
They're obliged to offer a free restest within ten working days, ie two weeks.
RE: Mot checks? - mcglynn - 21-09-2013
Not in northern ireland they arent, 18.50 for a retest afaik
RE: Mot checks? - Martin306 - 21-09-2013
A retest fee is chargeable at the discretion of the garage. I know some places that charge the same again if you take the car away to repair it.
Most places I've been to are a free retest.
RE: Mot checks? - mcglynn - 21-09-2013
Our system is different, there are set MOT test centres run by the government/dva and set workers. No garage can carry out an MOT test over here, and as such the fees are a set price.
£30.50 for a full test
£18.50 for a retest
And as such id rather check the csr myself first off lol
