Six months and less than 1K miles and the readings are all over the place
I spin the back out on my lathe, neater than a Stanley knifeTime to sit and attack it with a stanley knife, and fix it over a cuppa for fun

Even the expensive ones say "made in PRC" so it was worth a try.You know what they say.. buy cheap, buy twice
Probably the same production run, different sticker
Nice. Have you found a decent fix for a worn track yet .? I've bin scratching my head for for yonks on how to repair that worn section.I spin the back out on my lathe, neater than a Stanley knife
You are right, track repair is not possible. On later cars, the sensors can be swapped side to side but as the sensor is near mid range normally, swapping may not make much difference.
I didn't realise they had MOT's in France Keith, its bad enough with them over here. I installed a cheap sensor a while back after fixing the pivot shaft wobble with metal epoxy...... So far so good, I did have to swap it from the rear right to the rear left because it kept throwing an out of range fault when dropping to access. I managed to get a Dunlop one from Paddocks for the right side, a very large difference in the build quality with the pivotsThe EAS is fixed, the spare cheapo EAS sensor is working for the moment, it should last until the MOT on Thursday
All of the EU have MOT's, ours are every 2 years so better than the UK.
I didn't realise that, I spent 24 years in Canada, they don't have MOT's, when you buy a car it has to be "certified" after that it can fall to pieces!! They do have spot checks for old bangers that look like they are collapsing but there are some pretty serious scrap driving around. I left in 2002 so they may have introduced some controls since then
Never heard any mention of MOT's in either Canada when I was there, or the USA where they seem to have a free hand as to what they do with their motors.
Another reason that the Contrôle Technique (CT) is better than a UK MOT is that they are performed by independent CT centres not the garage servicing your car. They have no hidden agenda of finding faults that they can then charge to fix.
If you're lucky you can find an MOT only facility
Except some seem to have an "arrangement" with a local garage
