That's right, the 300tdi failed today - the results are as follows - your opinions would be excellent! I'll put what the fail sheet says in red and the reality of each in black
1. Offside dip beam inoperable - Does work, could be seen to work but was slighltly dimmer cos of a loose connection, sorted now
2. Seat belt clasp incomplete - Plastic bit is missing, has been for 3 years and not mentioned before. He said it weakens the clasp without the plastic cover
3. Clamp holding rear and mid section exhaust pieces is rusty -
4. Rear number plate lamps dirty - not massively, still lights it up pretty good
5. Rear N/S brake disc damaged - It has a tiny piece missing from right up at the edge where no brake pad travels. No noise and passed efficiency test..
6. Plastic sockets that the headlights clip into are broken - They are cracked and still hold the lights in place just swell.
7. body mounts rusty - :doh: Forgot about them, probably the only reasonable fail issue I would say
I drove away in disbelief, slightly laughing and slightly wanting to scream. Does this seem reasonable/right for a fail sheet?
When I got home and opened the bonnet I found one of the headlight bulb rubber covers sitting just on top of the front panel next to the bonnet catch hole. And the other one is missing!? Obviously to get them off you have to unplug the lights, so what they been doing that for?
Thought they weren't allowed to tamper?
Seems a bit of a joke to me, all of those things could easily be an advisory at the most.
