First Mot For Lexus

Loz · July 8, 2003

Having to MOT my GS for the first time. any know fail points?

I had the antiroll bar bushes done last Nov and the ball joints up front. tyre as new or nearly new. brakes, well ones warped but would they know? would that be a fail?

I guess the only thing that is unknown really is the emissions. should I put any additives in to make sure its sweet as the proverbial nut?

dont worry Loz mate

Mine flys through everytime! emmisions will be sweet.

The only things that you might get are genral things like wiper blades etc... silly things!

I've recently had my second MOT done on my IS, it passed first time, everytime :)

Cheers Buddy.

do you have to spend much on yours through the year?

last twelve months I have had anti roll bar bushes, ball joints, tyres, 2 sets rear pads, one set front pads, timing belt, oil and filter change (couple) tail light bulb, wipers, and should have had new plugs but ignored the schedule...

but then she has done near 40k since 23 August 2002...

of course the spacing on my plate is not QUITE right.... but the guy is not too big an a55 hole as to worry about it I think...

and they are getting a fair bit of work through me now so I would hope they'd take a commercial decision not to be silly.

I am afterall geting the MOT for £17.50.... I think the standard price is £38 these days....

Loz ;) :zee:

Apart from services every 10'000 miles, I haven't spent any extra on my car for repairs or replacements of parts.

Oh, I have recently replaced a rear brake light bulb

I've got my first MoT in September, :shutit: ... are there any known problems with emissions from after-market back boxes??

wildrnes · July 8, 2003

tell you soon mate

Loz · July 8, 2003

Hmmmm.... Glad I never got the de-cat kit and Dave sporties exhausts!!

thinking about putting through a valve cleaner or something but she runs just fine.... I should have more faith

Guess its just that I have only ever MOT'd old crocks before, never a luxury car. always got rid before they were that old....

Not that age is a prob with the Lex. I'm just about to take her for another tour of the country. Bristol, London, Taunton, Bath, Oxford and back home to Leeds...

i used 10k boost not so long ago and some injector cleaner

made a difference especially when you see a cloud of cack come out the back (poet and i didn't kno it )

everytime I drop the kids off at the pool, I see a cloud of cack come out the back....

Fidgits?

pm me with your mob and location. If I am in your neck of the woods and have time I'll buy you a beer to ease the pain of those bruises that Rhaines inflicted on you in an attempt to show toc superiority...
