My point is...if cars done over 70k..replace vcu...its prob a once in the owners lifetime expense...about 400 quid with bearings...or do inconclusive tests with bars tied to wood and sockets and water bottles for wieghts...really technical stuff..kid ya self alls well ..thats best scenario...and...

it happened to be there xmas doo, i got invited as a guest got to pick brains of 20 odd of the finest..

really...specialists at a major 4x4 repairer laugh there heads off down pub last year...these guys live breath and build and do events in them...i tend to take there opinion..as they say...if its done over 70k..replace..its a servicable part...key is the reverse test....

forget about the one wheel up test its ridiculous....if car done over 70k..get recon vcu..thats recomended, if in doubt drop prop off till you can get a recon...drives in 2wd no prob,,as said if it reverses easy on full lock reverse should be ok

thanks for the link//just reading it..

well guess so

so what does my reading 0.12 really mean..do you know the fail figure.. im trying to understand if i had good reading or bad..cheers

hi ..my freelander 2.0l td4 just passed mot with an emission opacity mean value of 0.12.....thats with erg bypass fitted does any one have the readings from there mot , interesting to see if its makes a big diff. no mention that erg had been removed so clearly not a issue.

think your answer perfectly sums up the situation ..closed a loophole

i read that ..it says you can take car away...but if you read further guidelines it means ..back home...not to use every day as legally it has no mot, you can then drive back to the pre booked mot,...3 mot stations have said to clarify this for there customers they rang vosa...who stated a...

or ask for a pre test first so if for example you need to order a part thats not readily available you have rest of mot thats valid

but in my case 3 ball joint rubbers...does that make car unfit..clearly i had done my own tests has it passed on everything else

no ones on about impounding....its about if you fail but still have month left on old mot new law says the failure invalidates old mot...so you may drive home ..if not dangerous...and back to a pre booked mot...thats it
