Looks to be a fail, silly things like not tightening the steering rod bolt tight enough, more welding to the rear x member and the exhaust which can't be emission tested as the exhaust isn't accesible when the vehicle is on the floor,
It can all be fixed though, a few more late nights it seems

Could a been worse ;)





Or is there more?? :eek:
 
Tidy rear xmember your truck is looking similar to mine now :)

My mot ran out last week

Took a week off work mid next month ( im on a project in holland atm) to get it fixed up ..... Buying tools and materials for it the now hope to get it on the road for the snow - flog it now i live near a road i buy something tasty and v8 in the summer when they are a bit cheaper or a series 2 if i can find a nice one as i should have a garage by then :)
 
List as i have it atm:

Reason(s) for refusal to issue Certificate

Steering system has excessive free play detected at the steering wheel (steering box fitted) (2.2.A.1a) Now i'm not sure about this as tbh there is no difference in the play at the steering wheel since i've had it, but i'll look into none the less

Offside Track rod end loose (2.2.B.1d) **DANGEROUS** I didn't tighten up the bolt on the track end, my fault, easily rectified

Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (8.2.3)New pump as i covered the old one in windscreen washer fluid when filling it up :eek:

Windscreen has a sticker or other obstruction encroaching into the swept area by more than 40mm outside zone 'A' (8.3.1e)That'll be the mobile phone holder suction...it'll move

Front Registration plate missing (6.3.1a) No its inside the the vehicle on the dash, always has been, but i'll mount it on the outside flap

Parking brake lever has no reserve travel (3.1.6b)Needs adjusting

Offside Rear Braking system leaking (3.6.A.1) **DANGEROUS**It would be good if the MOT tester could tell the difference between a leaking hub seal and the brakes.....

Offside Rear Body has a sharp edge caused by damage (6.1.4)Nowt that a hammer wont sort

Rear cross member Body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountings (6.1.3)My welding was good i was told, a few areas still need attention and the guy who runs the garage gave my tips to sort it for the re test so i'll get onto that

Offside Rear position lamp(s) insecure (1.1.A.2a)See above...hit it with hammer and it'll be back to normal with a new screw in the cover

Rear Exhaust has a part missing (7.1.1a)Either weld a pipe on or buy a new backbox section, i'll go for the later as they're cheap enough

Offside Front Stub axle has excessive vertical movement between stub axle and axle beam (2.5.A.1a)This i'm not sure of, will check as it possibly to do with track rod end and the shocks

Offside Front Lower Shock absorber insecure (2.7.2b)apparently they're not tight enough but replacements are being picked up tomorrow/thursday

Nearside Front Lower Shock absorber insecure (2.7.2b)see above

Exhaust missing Emissions not tested (7.0)couldn't test it as there was no visible exhaust when vehicle on the ground, possibly as it's chopped off at the middle box, new back box will rectify

Steering Brake performance not tested (3.7) didn't road test

Service brake efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.1a)didn't road test

Parking brake efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.1b) didn't road test

Advisory Notice issued

Exhaust has part of the system slightly deteriorated (7.1.1a)

Nearside Front Brake hose slightly deteriorated (3.6.B.4d)

Offside Front Brake hose slightly deteriorated (3.6.B.4d)

Rear Brake hose slightly deteriorated (3.6.B.4d)

Nearside Seat belt damaged but webbing not significantly weakened (5.2.2b)

Oil leak

No bonnet stay

Front discs worn

Nearside rear tyre cut

So it's not too bad.....:(
 
Does anyone know if the 110 back box/exhaust is the same as the 90?

Got plenty of references for the 110 part number but bugger all for the 90, not got microcat on this pc so cant check.
 
Offside Rear Braking system leaking (3.6.A.1) **DANGEROUS** - I don't think they can dismantle anything to check. If there's oil coming from the drums, it would be better if they did noted it as:

Offside Rear Wheel cylinder leaking (3.6.A.1) - (like they did on my series 3 recently :)

the "oil leak" one always makes me chuckle :)
 
Thats some list:eek:
My number plate is in me screen and I dint fail.
Bit tight to fail on the washer jet, imo thats stupid trivial matter. Bah.
 
Offside rear leak isn't the brakes, drums were bone dry, the leak is oil on the inside of the rim where I didn't jet wash it off. I've had those wheels off a fair few times over the past week and not seen any oil around the drums or brake lines at all.

That'll probably be from a wheel bearing seal.
either

a, Old leak. ;)
b, New leak :eek: :D
 
Indeed Blue, its not that bad tbh, long list but a lot of it is simple stuff.

Although the garage works on landys a lot I reackon my tester hasn't been near one before. The unsecured front shocks was actually him thinking that the shock should have retaining plates like the rear, chatted to the garage today about it as I got to thinking after his comment on the rear brake leaking. Thing is if I wanted to sell it, then comments like that get possible buyers thinking about it if I tell them there was no fault you know?

Anyway got a damn French car in me garage whilst me landy sits in the rain :(
