MOT Failed!

Just got my Disco back from the garage.

NSR disc brake contaminated with oil (from when I changed the seals and bearings, just needs some cleaning)
NSF wheel bearing excessive play (this is one I did - must have bedded in!)
OSF wheel bearing excessive play (never touched this one! Maybe it needs replacing? Might just tighten the fecker up)
NSR wheel bearing excessive play (another one I did.... :doh
NSF and NSR anti roll bar linkage excessive play in ball joint. What is the best way to replace these? I've never done one before...not even sure what I have to order...
NSF & OSF corrosion on body mountings - this is on the outrigger section underneath the footwell. One side is obvious but the other looks fine to me. Also looks like a fecker to weld.....

Usual advisories list...apparantely my boot floor has been weld repaired! Well I never!!!

thats a pretty short cheap list to rectify most if not all you can do yourself

I think with the roll bar, if you take it off and grind all the signs that there was ever plates that hold a roll bar it will pass the mot.

Plus, with no roll bar you have more axle travel...

I thought about that but think I might just sort it out as the parts aren't too bad.

I guess I need 4 of these? (2 for front and 2 for back - might as well replace them all):

NTC1888 Anti Roll Bar Joint and Link Assembly (WEB EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL OFFER)

Id be chuffed if it was mine, jobs not to hard to do.

Retest tomorrow.

Replaces all the anti roll bar links - 10 minute job and £7.30 per connecting link.
Tightenend up all the wheel bearings - they were pretty loose to be fair - cost nothing.
Cleaned rear disk - bit of thinners, no cost
2 bastard days of welding, had to buy a coupel tiny cans of gas (about £34 with the paint i got too and a new bottle valve as mine was faulty).
Have a look at this mess! (it ain't pretty but it's functional...)

Nice work there mate!

fingers crossed for tomorrow.. if you get it through you going on the 13th?

Cheers mate, the welding wasn't too pretty but there's a tonne of new metal there now so should be good for a little while now!

Yeah I'm planning on it, will get my big tyres on tomorrow night if it passes and then I'm all set.

It passed! Thank god, that's it for another year.....!

Haha! Last time we welded it up for the MOT it took us 3 months so this is a very good result for me!

Cheers guys
