Out of interest did the testing station use a 2 or 4 wheel rollersAtA when testing brakes.? I have never had any 4wd car tested on rollers, they always use a deceleration tester as the transmission can be damaged else. At least you won't need to worry about mot for the next 12 months. Glad...

Mine just passed mot with egr delete and cat removed. The only way to tell if car came from factory fitted with a cat is by the vin number, ref rave manual. Just before the mot I refitted just the flexi pipe to valve body with a thin blank between cooler output and flexi pipe. With engine cover...

Pleased to report that car flew through Mot with no mention of decat or egr delete.

I think it's down to individual testers and how much they look hoping they might get some work. Be interesting to see how many people get egr deletes picked up at mot time.

Fleabay.??

Injector seals I reckon. Sounds similar to my experience with worn seals. A cheap and relatively easy fix.

An update on this thread. Just back from mot and car flew through. No mention of cat missing or egr delete (although my recent mod makes it look at a glance like nothings missing when engine cover in place,see photo). I think it's going to be down to individual mot tester on how everybody fairs...

I'll give it a try if I can't find the loom where it broke from. Should make it easier to trace now I now where the start point is. Mot tomorrow so see if de cat and EGR delete pass. I have a special trick to hopefully fool tester so will have a look at loom tomorrow if car passes. Cheers for info.

Hi all, just noticed when getting car ready for mot on Friday that the 2 wires from the oil pressure switch have been snapped/broken off from the main loom. There's about 18inches and 12inches on each respectively. I'm hoping that the oil pressure is fine as engine runs and sounds fine after 3...

Injector seals and o rings need replacing. Mine had the same symptoms a few months ago. Noisy fuel pump, not wanting to start after being idle for a few hours. Changed air bleed valve, no change. Symptoms came on over a few days. Replaced with genuine lr parts. Took a couple of hours to do...

That would explain why mine has no buzzer.,

My 02 disco doesn't beep when towing. The secondary light on dash flashes in time with trailer/caravan lights (or not if lamp blown), but never had a buzzer. It's a genuine land rover tow hitch and socket fitted by me. Was never fitted as option from factory by previous original owner. Is...

All tightened now. Took a jack underneath ball joint to put enough pressure to lift the car by about 6 inches to stop it spinning but got it tightened eventually. Front discs were a breeze. No seized caliper bolts. However did discover caliper piston gaiter torn and ACE ram gaiter perished so...

My first thought but tried and nut and threaded part just spins. Probably just replace the drag link and damper, it's all new then so something I won't have to worry about failing at a later date, I've got new discs to fit at same time anyway. Was just worried about stripping it all down only...

Hi, just gone to check knocking noise and have found the right hand ball joint connecting to the steering box arm is moving about badly in the arm (lots of up and down and side to side movement between the 2 parts) . Obviously new drag link will be needed as it's the non replaceable side ball...

Tow bar cover is cosmetic, doesn't need to be dismantled to gain access. Just like a boot mounted spare wheel under a false floor. Easily lifted or popped out to gain access by user/owner.

Go to Gov.co.uk and download the mot testers handbook and have a read. They write the rules mot tester have to follow when testing a vehicle. It's interesting and says in black and white what's allowed or not. You can't argue with what's written in it as its what is required on mot test. A...

Not according to the Dot testers manual issued this year incorporating the May revisions. Clearly states " test to be carried out with no dismantling"

Mines due end of month. No cat, egr or centre box. Gonna extend the front edge of the engine cover so the egr blank can't be seen as testers not allowed to remove anything to check. Gonna argue that the car never had a cat fitted from factory new and hope he doesn't enter the vin onto some dot...
