Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii amarite bodger and a diff MOT station .

Just a quick thought/question - with this new fangly compooter system that they have put in for MOTs - can the next MOT station see the reasons for failure that other places have keyed in? In which case, your bodging will need to be quite good if the tester can see something like "Rust peforation in a major structural area" or something damming like that when he calls up the MOT history of your car.

Yes ,I've been wondering about that .The emissions have to be retested after an hour or so to prove some work has been done to correct the failure, I think .
On the fail sheet it says ' Rear vehicle structure has excessive corrosion ,seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mounting points '

Not too specific so that could be anywhere I chose to point out to them as the main rear subframe has had some pukka repairs done



Where's that professional MOT fella got to

Luckily no... on the new MOT systems, each section is a ticked box on the computer....either a pass or a fail on a specific area, no full details. These are still written by hand on the failure sheet by the tester.

Rite-so! that's the very man .

well ??????????????????????

in my humble opinion............

if you have going to all the trouble of doing what looks like a great job on your engine rebuild, then i have no idea why you want to bodge a body/chassis repair?!

cut it out and do it right!
