MoT testers, please spare me some advice!

[Dan Stanley]

The saloon is just out of MoT. I havent yet fixed all the problems since the fire, but will these fail its MoT?
There is no intermittent wipe which also means the wipers dont park themselves. I think the only way to wash the screen is to set the wipers to constant wipe, then pull the stalk forward to wash the screen.
If I fill the fuel tank up passed a 1/3rd it leaks from the return pipe. I was going to take it to the MoT station running on fumes to solve this problem!!

I need more time to fit a stalk to sort the wiper problem. But will I be able to get through an MoT right now?

EDIT: oh, and the indicators dont self cancel, but Im sure they wont need to check that...

wipers are a fail if not parking and staying in drivers view , but if u have a kind tester and explain about how too make them park he may pass it , but fuel leak defoe a fail in my book so take it in on fumes lol

Whys it leak from the return pipe? Has it rusted where it meets the tank or something?

TBH i wouldn't want to be driving anything thats leaking fuel....

[Saloony]

Gonna fail me old shag. They need to automatically cancel on there own without assistance.

Bum.
Will have to get round to my Mums to raid my shed o' nova to find another wiper stalk.
I have no idea why the tank leaks, it seems to have a mystery pressurising problem. I think the ball is getting stuck in the cage at the entry to the fuel tank and/or theres a blocked (breather?) pipe. Its a new-ish (pattern part) tank and Ive tried a new GM hose and all different manner of hose clips but to no avail.

I just want to be able to drive the dam thing again!!
Ive driven novas as a daily for 7 and a half years (3 of them over that time) but have probably lost a whole year with them being off the road waiting for my spannering time!
