my car passed its mot,but

**solorider** · 9th February 2009, 20:57

there were a few advisories

1 n/s/f headlight consendated,but not affecting beam pattern .i knew about this as i cut the hole for the hid's too big,new cap is on order
2 front coil springs corroded,did not know this so new springs required soon before they break
3 movement in o/s/r hub assembly,did not know about this but hopefully the warranty will cover this
4 n/s/r tyre close to limit
5 o/s/f tyre wearing on outer edge
6 windscreen chipped

so it looks like i need to spend some money,glad i did not go away for the week

Not bad really,at least you have a year to sort all that out,tyres and hub being the first thing to do..........

Number three will be the drop links, the banana bars, famously weak spot on Vec's, jack the car up put a bar under the wheel lift and rock the top of the wheel, should see them moving about, the screen if you can get it repaired do it asap as it will spread, another weak point on Vec's, whole new one isn't pretty, AG want £600, RAC £320 and indy's are generally around £220, hth.
