Race Estate Fails its MOT

[Eeyore]

With all due respect buddy, careful - how do you KNOW the 1.8 is ready? If you've overlooked things like this on the estate then it's likely that the 1.8 may also have issues you are unaware of and you'll be stuck with 2 cars that aren't road legal..

i havent overlooked these things on the estate. I knew the beam was bad but not bad enough to fail the MOT on! The only reason the 1.8 came off the road was because the estate was cheaper to run!

If it doesnt pass then so be it. I have 2 cars that cant go on the road and Ill have to use public transport at the weekends to go home. During the week im working in central london anyway so dont need a car for that.
