MOT question

The sol is going in for its MOT on saturday, but i have a stud that sheared off the manifold to downpipe connection.

To get round it for now ive bollocked a load of exhaust paste on there, but its still leaking a little.

Reckon this would fail it?

Id say not aslong as it doesnt affect emmisions, i could be wrong tho

its a '92 plate so emmisions aren't a problem, just a little leaky.

Ive meant to get round to pulling it off and drilling it out, but havent had time!

Oh and where the feck's your body kit design boy?!

I think a blowing exhaust is a fail, not 100% sure though.

Its an advisory.
Unless its falling off, missing parts, excessively corroded then it wont fail.

If someone can sort me a copy of xp for a tablet PC then the designs can begin to roll out, but atm my other laptop is fark'o'd

x86 or x64?

I dont even know dude

How do i find out?

bring me said computational device and i shall fixeth.

OK, nice one!!!

when and where?

er drop it over tomorrow if you want and ill take a look at it?

sound, PM me your address etc and il get a lift over (my cars fucked atm, battery will hold NO charge)

I can use computers but i have no clue about fixing them when i break them, I was using utorrent to download peepshow and got some kind of virus which fucked it over, iirc i can get all the drivers for it (stylus pen etc) though

pm'd like a motherlicker.

so hopefully the costa del sol wont fail!!

Another awesome thread de-rail on TOA

lol, so true

back on topic............yeah, MOT, shoud be ok by the sounds of it

ezz, i'll give you a lift over in exchange for suspensional favours the new tyres on (Y)

i'd say it depends on how strict the place is where u take it, should be alright tho.

Nice one ste

Im gettin a lift with ned tomorrow, then were out and about

i could help you the day after?

tbh ste its really not that hard, just get the top hats off, slide them off and jobs a good en

give us a bell/txt day after 2morrow then

changing the springs is pretty simple, 14mm spanner iirc, lop the lower control arms off and swing the whole brake assy to one side. undo the nuts on top of the mounts, slide the spring out so its on the deck. bang a spring clamp on quite loose and turn the retaining nut, if it starts to spin get a pair of grips and clamp the strut.

or ignore the better part of that message if youre changing the whole thing out

sound i'll have a pop myself tomorrow then.

just the tools i need to get hold of now lol

for my sol im sure i used 14mm for top mounts, 2x 17 mm for lower control arms and probably a 12mm somwhere.

basically if you have 12, 14, 17 & 19mm sockets or spanners youll be fine

yeahh i think i need a new socket set to be fair. i aint got nothin decent at all socket wise.

FYI motherbeeches it passed. Just an advisory.

get in

i love the feeling when your car pass's, mine pass's everytime hahahahaha

mines just passed with a cracked windscreen, knocking cv joints and yellow headlights. Curbed my fucking alloy though bastards
