My Landy has failed it's Mot!

Hi my series 2a just failed its mot! I'm looking for any advice u can give me on the the certificate they gave me. Many thanks

Here's the rest of the certificate

Mostly welding so all easy stuff

Does it need a number plate light? It's not got one fitted.

Chassis welding ad tidying up jobs

If it had one when it left the factory it'll need one. Not a hard thing to fit anyway

It's a 1969 series 2a so would a number plate light have been fitted when leaving factory?

how on earth can wheel nuts be incorrectly fitted, unless they are Xthreaded.

I thought numberplate lamps came in with reflective plates in 73, pre 73 motors can have the black plates.

the other bits are welding.

advisories you can ignore for getting the MOT, but id be looking at sorting the rear brakes, cylinder seals?? possibly oil seals depending on what its "damp" with

didnt know series had inner wings ??

They do but they're the inner mudflaps I think or it'll be the inside skin of the wing that's on the slam panel side stretching back to about middle of engine

Thanks for that I'm now going to ring the garage!

Do the welding yourself if not they'll charge an arm and leg for it

I think the wheel nuts might be because they don't match!!

The rear brakes might be damp because the front diff as a oil leak! Wot do u think?

As long as they lock the wheels though ?

The garage is tring to find out if it needs lights for the number plates! I've told them about pre 73 and black number plates and also about if they was not factory fitted then they don't need them! They r ringing me back. Let's see wot they say!

They have come back to me saying as my car as side lights it needs number plate lights! Its the law! Wot do u think guys?

My '63 IIa has combined rear lights and number plate lights. Basically there is a small clear window in the red lens. When the lights are on the window lights up the number plate.

Like this:



So tail light, reflector, stop light and number plate light all in one.

Where do I get one and wot about the front number play?

Front number plates don't need lights at all.
