Yes its that time of year its MOT time and, well i expected a huge failure but it wasn't as bad as first thought.
Heres the list and if i've allready solved it i'll say
001 Near side (Sill) Seatbelt Anchorage prescribed area excessively corroded.
Orded a new outer sill from YRM
002 Windscreen Damage to an area in excess of 10mm
Now this i've been told i cant repair due to the chip "Milking" and it will be a new screen, i've been quoted £130 BUT after a search on here i've found that for a 93 200tdi there not bonded and can be done yourself, i've found a local one for £30 but where can you purchase the seals from?
003 Inner wing excessively corroded near the break master servo/cylinder
Orded a new Wing from YRM
004 Steering box has significant oil leak
Its leaking from the drop arm and i've orded a new seal kit to hope this fixes it
005 Parking Break leaver has no reserve travelnow thisI've always tightened the little nut on the side of the drum but last time i tightened it at certain points it would catch and stop the car at slow speeds , a local dealer told me to slaken it off as its caused by warping in the drum, so i slakend it off and it fixed it but from what the MOT is saying its obviously still too loose so would i need to replace the drum? the shoes, shorten the cable?
ADVISORY
2 x Rear Tyres
Simple fix
Child seat
well tough that's staying in
and Corrosion to the boot floor
and as he put it. "its that bad i can see more carpet than floor from underneath, but i can't fail you for that as much as i want to"
well thats my next summer fix and its the lot that needs doing, but allready looking at this for that fix (Land Rover Discovery 1 Rear Tub Floor Assembly - YRM Metal Solutions)
So really im looking at 002 can i repair it? and where can i buy the seals from? and 005
as usualy from me any help is appreciated and a special thanks to people whos posts have already provided me with most of the answers!
