Ginge's MOT time - PASSED - ginge191 - 10-04-2012
So it's that time again, the MOT is due - just dropped the car off to my uncle (then he has a check over on his lift and takes it to an MOT station)
also gave him a quick explanantion about needing to give it some beans as it's running near to no fuel with limited throttle travel and reduced boost - still running 8-10psi, NO smoke whatsoever!
Pass or Fail on what?!?!

Fail on being French?
Re: Ginge's MOT time - pass/fail ?? - ginge191 - 10-04-2012

im thinking it may fail front brakes as they are shagggged and awaiting delivery of new items.. but we shall see!

Not being funny, why did you put it in before the replacement hoses if you were expecting it to fail?

erm it's the law to have an MOT on the car :|
Officer: Why are you driving your car with no MOT
Me: Oh it's fine officer, im waiting on the part in the post...
Officer: Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight....
Don't think that would come off

but technically, by the time i pick it up tomorow, it would have NO mot on it, thus making it illegal, as im not going TO a garage to get it done...
ANYWHO...
spellowe, do you know if the brake hoses are generic across dturbo/gti calipers??
Re: Ginge's MOT time - PASSED - cwspellowe - 10-04-2012
Erm, no I don't as i've never seen a DTurbo caliper

Seems like a waste of money? Rich coming from the guy who can't hold onto a car for more than 30 seconds because of something really trivial, only to go and buy another shit car!

Well I wouldn't want to keep one for a year....I'd have to MOT it then :o
I see what you mean ginge, but you still have no mot, so might aswell have just not driven it tonight and waited for the hoses....unless of course you do get a free retest as above, then obviously its not a waste of money lol.
