The valance was bad so we had to do that for the MOT
When Steve had a look at the weekend he thought maybe the shocks need replacing and possibly the brake lines - depends how the test goes as they may be ok. I want to get new shocks and springs anyway but ideally get it MOTd first and then save up for the new ones. Probably need new brake discs etc too. Until its had the MOT we can't really tell as all seems ok - but i know how that works from the MK2 - thought it was running fine, took it for its MOT and it needed new breaks, brake lines, steering rack, shocks and the exhaust was too loud

Did he actually test it with a Db meter?

Settling In
I'm breaking an A Reg GX - all parts available and in good condition. Car had only 2 owners and done 103k but rotten in the usual place at the back beam so unfortunately scrap. Mail me if there is anything you need to complete your restoration.
It's where the steering wheel should be…..

If its the standard exhaust and it failed, it can only mean that its either needs replacing, or there is a leak somewhere. If its a non-standard system, then its up to the discretion of the examiner. There is no such thing as the maximum allowable volume - the MoT manual simply says it mustn't be louder than a typical car of that make/model! So if a manufacturer makes a loud car, the MoT will pass it if its even louder, but not by much.
