Ye olde MOT tale of woe...

[kidsinister]

Same old story I know, but the old girl's failed her exams.

Something's loose in the fuel system (pump, I think), the emmisions are dodgy, the handbrake's STILL fucked , and there's a 3 inch hole near the front ARB mounts.

Very much

Anybody lend me a gazillion squid?

no nut moral support i may be able to help with ,. here we go


"THERE THERE"

see im good at this game!



just think dude its worth all the money

The emissions won't be much, most of the time it just needs some redex in the system and a good blast preferably down the motorway if theres one near and take it back the mot station red hot ! The holes by the ARB are bad news though, nothin a zoney who can weld can't help with !

[kidsinister]

Ta! The initial horror is fading; a welder's having a look now, and the garage already said the emissions is nowt.

I just hope I can fix that sodding handbrake... where's my LARGEST & HEAVIEST hammer...

[Gwynleym10]

Have you cleaned the hand brake with lots of brake cleaner? also give the cable a bit of a WD40/grease. That should help it!

[kidsinister]

Oh, it's much worse than that. The back-plates are corroded; I've had to do some Heath-Robinson bolts and washers thing on it just to keep the shoes in place. I don't know what's wrong with it now, but if that hasn't worked it's back to the drawing board. Maybe it's just come loose again though.

[Herrity]

My backing plates have rusted throgh too ! Can you buy new ones of those ? I wouldn't mind replacing them. Does anybody know ?

I think you were meaning to say "He does not mess about..."

Not that I am being a grammer Nazi or anything.
