Mot Tomorrow

[petayV8]

Wish me luck, first MOT with this car for me. I used to get nervous around MOT time but with this car im not that worried, even though it is nearly 14 years old!

Ive tightened handbrake put halogens back in as you do, cant see any issues from my own inspection. Will report back

Good luck and all the best,check the basics like tyres(including depth),wipers/blades( including screen wash) all bulbs work(replace those that don't),warning lights come on and go out as they should,visual inspection of brakes disc and pads etc and leave the rest to the mot tester.I tend to ask my garage to give mine a good look over(mot related issues)each time it goes in for a service so as to keep on top of things.

[petayV8]

Thanks. Screen wash - good one. Everyrthing else - check. Had mine on ramp before last xmas too

[petayV8]

Passed. Advisory - both rear wheel bearings have slight play. Should this be sorted?

[dave1]

Yes!

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

Glad it passed mate :)

Yes get the wheel bearings done as soon as you can

[petayV8]

Ok thanks, wasnt sure if it was something that could wait or should be done asap. how come the price varies so much for them? they range from £40 to £100+ each?

[Sherbertmelon]

How do you tighten the handbrake, may i ask?

[petayV8]

You can do it at the handbrake itself or at the service hole behind the wheels at the position of 6 o clock. It was recommended to me i used the service hole so i did. Use a flat screw drive to turn the teeth on the adjuster. Cant remember which way

The service hole can be seen on this guide to replace discs at step 12
