Got EIGHT advisories during my recent MOT! Eight! I also had to have a new front near side top mount to pass (it also failed on frozen washer jets and a twisted passenger seat belt :shock: but they very kindly rectified these for free :lol: ).
I would like some advice as to how important these things are if possible...
1) Exhaust noisy (er...?)
2) Offside front MacP strut has slight movement in upper attachment
3) Nearside front anti-roll bar rubber bush deteriorated but no resulting in excessive movement
4) Same for offside
5) Offside rear (sill) suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded but is not considered excessive
6) same but replace 'corroded' with 'distorted'.
7) Nearside rear trailing arm rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement
8.) Same for offside
Ok, so presumably I can ignore 1???
I replaced 'all' the rubber bushes with Powerflex when first got car but from memory the anti-roll bar ones weren't included in the pack and so weren't 'poly'd', but what about the trailing arm ones?! I had understood only one set of bushes was excluded from the Poweflex kit?
What are they talking about in nos. 5&6? Obviously I need to have a look but I don't know how easy this stuff is to see. I would have asked the garage about these things but I was at work and the certificate was issued to Kev in my absence.
Tempted to take it to Tremona and say help!
