MOT crunch time in 3 hours ....

[Yorkie]

... and my nova lies in a few pieces and theres no sam....AAGHHHHHHH:eek: WHAT WILL I DO!?! Right time to woman up and try put it back together in time. :tard:

[Tanya.]

You can do it Manda :) I would offer to help but i'm useless lol

[MK999]

Which pieces are missing? They may not be vital for an MOT lol

[Yorkie]

And you think im much better? HELP!

[Tanya.]

Tbh I think Daniel would probably be more help then me lol

[Yorkie]

Erm rear lights which i feel i can do as i done them before but took me ages, errrrrrm rear bumper with number plate light on, never done that befroe as the screws are hard to find and the stuff. O ther bits arnt important the rest is all just door seals. Im worried about the bumper mostly.

[MK1_Ben]

Goodluck!.

Mines due the end of next month, hoping to have new brakelines, brakes, fuel lines and Engine in before it :\

[MK999]

Rear lights pop in and secure on the plates with screws in as you probably know.

Rear bumper is 2 nuts inside the boot (bolts on the bumper push through, lean against it and spin the nuts on before you tighten them properly, and self tappers through the back of the arches into the little fixing blocks, number plate light just clips onto the spade terminals and pushes in, doesn't matter which way round.

Door seals are a 10 minute job too, hold them up and look at the natural bend in them, figure out which side/way round they go, start in a corner and just punch them into place basically lol Rubber mallet may be a suitable replacement for man hands :d

[Yorkie]

Thanks Ben.

Also need to put the Wheel on which will be a doddle so long as sam has left me the tools and such. hopefully he will be home in time ..... hopefully!

[MK999]

oh and by doesn't matter which way round obviously I meant the spade terminals, light has to face forwards lol

[Yorkie]

Cheers mk999, right off i go wish me luck

[Yorkie]

Cant find any of the screws :cry:

[windfreek]

just flutter your eyelashes at the mot tester and you will get thru, failing that plead insanity and you need the car tonight to collect your gran from spain.... or some other equally far fetched scenario, either way good luck!

[brownbear]

Fingers crossed!!

[Lewis.]

i zippy tied my front end thru an mot before now! lol

cable ties are considered a structural item round these parts lol had a cav in for MOT a few weeks ago and the owner had attemptem to cable tie a broken spring back together lol lol

[Yorkie]

Wheels are on time for the bumper!!!!!!

[joshy]

fingers crossed! :)

[Lewis.]

getting there :thumb: have you found the bolts yet? if not has he put the nuts for the bumper back on it?

[windfreek]

.....had a cav in for MOT a few weeks ago and the owner had attemptem to cable tie a broken spring back together lol lol

lmao, shows inicative <sp> i suppose! lol

[Lewis.]

yep, also shows they are from the fens! (23 fingers confirms this lol)

[Yorkie]

Right rear light no screws and aint working :S bumper semi on, bolted finger tight and the light is working :D now trying to screw the side bits in....Light may end up being cabke tied in

[ryansnova]

hope you get thare....

ones you have got the bumper on with the 2 bolts in the boot there is 2 more at the back of the wheel, under the arch on each side :)

the back lights just skrew on from the inside :)

[db_1.2]

You can do it! We believe in you!

But seriously, good luck, hope it passes first time.

[Yorkie]

Right, bumper is bolted on just got sides behind the wheel but it seems pretty secure so may leave it :S getting there with the light, but a bulb has gone but will get one from halfords asap once its done as i have just found the screws, next prblem i have noticed is the fuel pipe is not attatched :( looks simple but i still feel like crying 1 hour and 15 mins to go :S

[brownbear]

Why do I have visions of you being like this???

[Yorkie]

Alomost, im just close to tears at the mo lol running around like a head less chicken

[MK999]

I would put at least one screw per side in the bumper just in case the tester fancies grabbing it. Which fuel pipe is unattached?

Edit: You mean the filler neck from doing the arch?

[Tanya.]

Stopping to type on here probably isn't helping with the lack of time :p
Is Sam not available to text/talk to so he can walk you through it? :)

[brownbear]

Pass or fail then Manda?

[waynes sri]

[Yorkie]

[ryansnova]

not too bad just get it back in within 7 days :thumb:

[MK999]

at least it's an easy fix, should check tyres before MOT really but I think we've all done it before... I've had to have the spare put on mine at the MOT place before now lol

[Yorkie]

White Cesaro's are for the shows but have a set of black ones to put on for the MOT :) Thanks for all the Support guys

[jaygsi]

Your away for 5 mins and it all kicks off lol

[db_1.2]

I think that's fairly good knews on the MOT.

Wish my girlfriend was like you, and did something off her own back......laziest person I've ever met! I've just bought a house with her too!:cry:

[hendrix]

my escrote passed first time :)

but well done for sorting it, a tyre isn't too bad really
