My new S13 is going for it's MOT tomorrow!

I expect it will fail (there's a ruddy big hole in the exhaust) but I want to put it through to see what else needs done, if anything.

Wish me luck! :)

Hey everybody.

Got my car through the MOT test. It failed on the following:

* Anti Roll Bar droplink worn (so thats the knocking noise!)
* O/S & N/S Front & N/S rear calipers seized (Err... oops!)
* Brake pads low, front & rear all 4 wheels (Aw flaps!)
* Both wiper blades not cleaning properly
* Exhaust centre & rear sections holed (Aw damn, just need to get the HKS exhaust sooner ;) )
* Fuel lines leaking (Aw flapping flaps!) (Lines from tank to front, the metal ones, have corroded)

Warning about o/s inner & outer sill being slightly holed near the back. Didn't fail on this though, wahoo!

Not a deathtrap, safe to drive home. The guy was quite impressed with the overall condition of the car.

I'd say RESULT!! The car hasn't moved for a year, and this is all that's wrong! Emissions were 0.29 CO & 53 HC's but the guy did say it could all be falling out the holes!

So, a few hundred bucks & I'll be on the road!

Alex - hoping to join you all soon!
