MOT results

well, my £925 D-reg 90 didn't do too bad!

i welded about 5 areas on the chassis before sending it off and that was it. so heres the list:

- 1 patch of welding near the brake pipe mount that i missed £30
- cracked drivers mirror £10
- loose front wheel bearing and hub seal leaking. there gonna clean the disk and tighten the bearing for me to sort at a later date. £35 for an hours labour to do it all.
so. £75 to get it fixed. not bad. i considered doing it myself but its hardly worth it tbh.

good car

cant fault that sounds like a result

had my MOT 2 days ago. Had to replace one seatbelt , headlight alignment out, fuel tank leaking (they tightened the drain bolt up, passed it and told me to keep an eye on it and replace the tank if it leaked again) and replaced drop arm ball joint as it had play in it. Total of £145 - the seatbelt was £50!

got advisories on all the other seatbelts!! Anyone know of any cheaper ones than John Craddock?

Or try a different MoT centre.

Looking at the Advisories for mine from the past couple of years, they kept mentioning the seat belt wear/chafing (looks like it's a common problem, as they catch in the doors) and also the cracked front numberplate. That was for the previous owner - reported at least two years running!

This year, different location, different tester, no advisories (at all) -- and no, I hadn't changed the seatbelts or the numberplate.

It's possible that the chap who tested mine was used to Land Rovers, as I suspect my garage (a Landy specialist) uses them regularly.
