MOT - happypug - 15-12-2015 Hi all. Having just had mot fail re rear seat belt point. I have the 306 estate which is prone to rotted rear p/side seat belt anchorage. Shocked to find out it has completely destroyed this point of fitment, rust abound....oh dear ![]() ![]() RE: MOT - Mattcheese31 - 15-12-2015 Standard issue, fix and fit arch liner then forget ![]() RE: MOT - powerandtorque - 15-12-2015 Remember that the grass isn't always greener... 306's are generally speaking very good in terms of rust and there's plenty of newer (let alone similar aged) out there far worse. It isn't a particularly major repair and is hidden from view - just get it repaired and carry on, knowing that the repair should outlast the car. RE: MOT - toseland - 15-12-2015 aye, when it is repaired give it a good soak of waxoil and fit a liner.. win win then.. RE: MOT - Poodle - 15-12-2015 Ah so now you've fixed the lemon, you're going to get rid and buy another lemon to fix. Love your money-saving skillz there, keep it up. RE: MOT - Dazecoop - 16-12-2015 Take a look on my project thread, similar thing on mine. Cost £40 for welding repair, although it was me that found it rather than the MOT tester. Ph3 arch liner will prevent it in the future RE: MOT - 306Dan - 16-12-2015 I dont know of any 306 ive touched that hasnt needed some form of welding there MOT - Tom85 - 16-12-2015 (16-12-2015, 12:19 AM)Dazecoop Wrote: Take a look on my project thread, similar thing on mine.

Ph3 arch liner will prevent it in the future Does this issue affect all estates or was did they fit a liner to P3s which prevents this? We have a 2002 in the family so one of the last ones..

Mine is a 3dr '98 Ph2. Ph3's were the only ones fitted with rear arch liners on both sides from what I've found out, so a Ph3 car is less likely to be rusty RE: MOT - Toms306 - 16-12-2015 They didn't fit full liners to a lot of the ph3 estates (my W plate failed in that area!). However being 2002 you should have a full liner there, get on the floor and have a look up lol... MOT - Tom85 - 16-12-2015 Thanks! I'll have a look at the weekend and see what it's got. Why on earth didn't they didn't fit arch liners to the earlier ones - baffling. RE: MOT - 306Dan - 16-12-2015 money saving i'd assume or something daft like that RE: MOT - Dazecoop - 16-12-2015 My thoughts are money saving and/or because there is no fuel filler neck that side. They did it to protect fuel filler neck on drivers side, maybe RE: MOT - Toms306 - 16-12-2015 I honestly don't know. However our nearside is obviously their drivers side, so they wouldn't get the mud and crap build up there from the gutter like we do... What I really don't get though is why they fitted them to all hatches in phase 3 (V plate on) but not estates for another couple of years! RE: MOT - 306Dan - 16-12-2015 i'd suppode it'd depend how many estates they had laying round waiting for sale, as there seems for be quite a few phase 2.5 estates especially round me |
