In for MOT today.
Changed cracked steering rack boots last night and freed off sticking brake pads, fingers crossed...

Does anybody let the MOT tester sit in the car? I always insist in staying in it myself (this also helps with things like hydraulic hand brakes).
I get the drift !!Originally Posted by ChrisCar6
One of the tests is to check handbrake cable and mechanism is moving freely (a fail I had a few years ago with a stuck adjuster) so might do well on the brake testBut ... Actually though if it isn't there it can't be tested.... Hmm have to see. At least you go to the best place now Phil.
sorry Stru, hijacked again.

My MOT guy is pretty ok, he dosent testthe brakes on the machine, as I have an LSD, just drives the car 100m on the industrial estate and if it stops it passes, also just pulls on the Handbrake to see if it works.
The last guy i used let me stay in the car and wanted to see the cables tighten when he was under the car checking.....
So just depends on the tester.....
My MOT man does the same and takes the car down the road with a mobile brake test device on board. He dare not drop the car onto the brake test rollers as it is too low.

Annoying fail with a nick on a rear TB15 and wiper not clearing the screen.
At IVA, tester wanted oversize wiper blade to cover more of the screen, wasn't concerned if it lifted at the edges.
MOT man wants wiper in contact all the time, so back to shorter blade! As always, in the eye of the beholder....
Hopefully sorted tomorrow.

FYI there's a rear TB15 for sale by Sando in the Classifieds section.....
