It is crap for parking round there, my sis in law lives by St James' church and can never park outside her house Do you go to any of the local meets? We do the New Forest Dub meets and Hampshire meets
Both Headlamp aims out. Emissions too high Too much play in steering wheel Play in track rod ball joint. Drivers door doesn't latch right. (Reality it just needs a good slam) Handbrake not up to scratch Nothing major (I think)
I had a workshop In Palma de Mallorca a few years back and I had a pallet truck that came in very handy when a guy parked his ford mustang in front of my door. LOL He couldnt understand why his car was on the other side of the road from where he left it.
Guess the headlights and leave them in an adjustable state so yer MOT man can easily set them. It might just need warming up more, but carb could need adjustment, how's your tickover and what figure did you get? Play in steering wheel you'll have to investigate. Your steering box might need adjustment? Track rod replace ball joint if it's the adjustable side, replace track rod if it's the other side, get the tracking done when you get your pass. Adjust the latch out a bit so it latches even if it looks poo, you can put it back later. They click twice and he wants it shut on the second click. Handbrake might be cables jamming or other, you'll have to iinvestigate that too. At least you haven't come away with a long shopping list.
Booo on the fail Nice to hear some other southern softies though! I'm a Southampton girl born and bred. Living in Bognor now though. I can recommend Doug's VW weeks but it's all the way in Angmering. He's a good egg
The bloke said leave the headlamp bezels off when I come back back and he'll do them then. It's offside inner track rod end ball joint - don't these need a big machine to press in or out or something? Could the ballpoint cause the steering wheel play? Emissions Co is 6.12, needs to be 4.5 max, hc is 4764, needs to be 1200 max! Oh dear!
Sod it I'm taxing it tomorrow, the amount of money been spunked on it another 15bar down the drain won't hurt! Was gonna wait to do one of my special bedtime texts x
