MOT looming !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: 07 February 2010, 16:03:57 »
Hi Strangers,
Just fitted a pair of rear ride leveller shocks as the originals were leaking oil ( A big Thanks to Loo Knee for getting hold of a pair for me)  Gave it a general check over, wishbone bushes truly *****d, ordered a pair from fleabers, just an observation though, I've noticed a wee bit of seepage of  a clear / straw coloured oil around the steering box, this is NOT red dexron, it's a slightly thicker viscosity too.  I assume that this is just the hypoid gear oil type stuff?
Q: Can this be topped up? Secondly, will this necessarily be a fail or just an observation?

Suggestions, most welcome....  ::)

they can fail it if they have to clean the floor up after your mot, as class it as danger to other road users.

The bloody thing passed with flying colours!

I'd had to put some wishbones on and the rear shocks, had the exhaust repaired by my mate at www.dtmetallictechnology.co.uk , the pipes at the rear of the two middle backboxes had to be cut short and the back box pipes lengthened to reach, all in stainless steel too!  other than that no advisories, not bad for 130k miles on the clock and 11 years old  :)
