None of our Land Rovers have ever failed on rust. Or, infact, ever failed. Guess that comes down to giving them a good check over first.

Insecure battery is not a failure, pass and advise.
And as far as corrosion goes your only allowed to use a plastic toffe hammer and/or fingerand thumb preasure which is rediculous when you could be towing 3t on it.

It is at our events
No I know what you mean, the toffee hammer thing is bloody daft. My guy uses a tyre lever, and that's fine by me, as I test to that std before I take it.
I'd much rather have good metalwork under me than the ferrous equivalent of a teabag

although i tend to use the metal end and poke something hard if i feel that the metal is thin enough to be a danger, i would rather a telling off for that than to find out that a seat belt point pulled out in an accident after ide passed it

Ive heard about the air bag light comming into the MOT but not had any confurmation from VOSA as yet, im also wondering weather they will have to be replaced as they have a shelf life so to speak, and i believe it is recomended they are replaced when 10 years old, that will right a lot of cars off.

Yes thay do, Volvo used to have a sticker (don't know if they still do) on the O/S 'B' piller with the expiry year and month on it.
I believe it's the propellant tablets that have the expiry date as they degrade over time.

Yeah volvo's still have the stickers on them, even the sips need to be replaced lol. I do belive that he has been reported once or twice but no evdince to back it up. Althou his pass rate is way down.
