mot time

well eventually sorted out the engine and sort of sorted  the interior,  its booked in for its mot tomorrow so wish her luck.

originally thought i had  a gti cabby but turns out its just 1.8 carb

Goo luck.  Mine is in on Wednesday.  Fingers crossed!

Good luck to both of ya!!!  It's a nervey time but you both sound like there's no big problems with either car… should go ok but best of luck just in case  :wink:

good luck guys. i love the feeling of a fresh ticket in my hand. always walking away form the garage smiling

Just off for some last minute tinkering now.  Need to wedge something into the seat runners to stop them wobbling, just in case I get some jobsworth tester and until I can get my new clip.  Aside from that it should be all OK.

Give funk-star a shout fella he's got loads and supplied me and Zambeaky with ours.  You can also check Zambeaky's build thread on how he got on installing them.

You mite get a surprise and they go straight through mine did well shocked better than me mrk4

oh well no suprise it  failed  on 8 things

but stupid things

2 different size tyres on front and back  easy fix swap them – done
rear wheel bearings picking up tomorrow
2 fuel leaks 1 on fuel pipe in engine bay  1 on the fuel filler neck where it joins – done
nuts missing from 3 of the wheels lol didnt even notice 1 nut on each wheel ******* theives lol – done

only thing left to fix now is the wheel bearing 10 min job everything else fine

Not bad at all then really mate.

Another FAIL!  Not by much mind.

'Dirty' headlights (?!)
CO2 content too high by1.1%

Hope I can get the issues rectified soon.  At least it only needs a partial re-test!

yippee mine just passed

:cheer: Congrats!

I spoke with the mechanic last night and he said that to pass the emissions test, I need to adjust an allen key in the ignition system.  Any idea what he's talking about?  I haven't had chance to look.

Maybe air/fuel ratio?

Perfik!  That's exactly what I was after.

Thanks

mines going in tomorrow for its MOT, hope it goes through as meant to be meeting neo above and other Bristol guys on Monday

they just failed mine on number plates, it has standard size text and font although i do have the carbon fibre style lettering. apparently the law changed 6 weeks ago. got my new set at Halfords and she said they had the Law in saying the law had changed.

So get those standard plate back on
