Time for the falcon to get on the road so mot time and I'm not hiding anything from the mot'r so I have removed all covers rear carpet
the day before the mot I had some time to take the accord out and free the brakes and clean them up a bit as it hasn't driven for a while just going into second gear and phaarrrppp the exhaust came off In 2 places so after making the exhaust back up and putting it back on (without cat)took it to the mot at 9 in the morning and as I was expecting it failed
On a few things (there was 12 on the sheet but some are related)
i did ask him to pay special attention to the front as it were the first time I have driven her and I could hear feel summit
1 nearside headlight too low
2 nearside main beam to low
3 nearside Suspension arm exesive play
4 nearside flexi ferrule corroded
5 offside flexi ferrule corroded
6 exhaust emissions co2 too high was .38 should be .30
7 nearside rear brake poor
8 offside rear brake poor
9 nearside handbrake poor
10 offside handbrake poor
11 parking brake below requirements
12 front brake imbalance
So it was getting new discs pads shoes pipes and both top suspension arms I might swell do both sides
I will refit the cat and reseal the manifold as it was blowing a bit I reckon it would have passed if the manifold wasn't blowing I'll have to make a gasket .
And re align the headlamp
The window regulator came today also so it won't be long I've a few cars to look at in-between
It may sound bad but these things are easily sorted and were planned to be done in the future anyway looks like I'll wait a bit for new tires
