Title: More MOT's
Post by: VXL V6 on 05 November 2020, 17:06:40
Put both the daily and the project cars in for MOT's last friday.

Project car (113K) passed with advisory for minor oil leak - front cam seal is my bet but until the cam cover gaskets need doing I won't be worrying about that.

Daily driver (239K) failed on only one point - major exhaust leak.... Well it would do as the backbox wasn't connected to the mid pipes by much! I didn't want to get a back box before as I needed to know if there was any other MOT fail points before I started spending money! Anyway, new backbox from Poland (ordered Friday evening, delivered Wednesday lunchtime!) fitted today and a clean MOT on that one.

Typically the Project car thanked me by pissing ATF out of the cooler pipe yesterday so now need to fix that and fill the box up again.  ::)

Got to take Mrs VXL's Astra in next month  :D

Better busy than bored :D

At least they're easy enough fixes :y

Don’t forget the oil pressure switch as a leak source ;)
