up for mot on thursday

got the headlights set at the right height but the ones that set the direction i.e side to side are turning but not doing anything - the metal knob is turning like before anyone suggests the plastic bit is turning round

any ideas

also any tips for what novas usually fail on - its had new bushes suspension brakes, everythig on engine all gaskets e.t.c and gearbox so ok for leaks, shell is mint so for once dont have to worry about welding lol got the emissions set today and had a real good check over the car but cant help thinging it would be my luck she would fail om something silly

irish mot's are stricter than english by the way lol

Engine oil leaks or not are irrelevant for an mot iirc, and why are irish testers strict? are the governed by the ministry of transport? should be the same as british test then surely?

dear god stu dont be so ****ing optomistic lol

mark - wheel bearings all good

other boy - english mots unless its changed can be done at a any approved garage but here in ireland you have to take it to a test centre nearest to you. 90% of the things are checked by a machine so there is no over ruling anything e.t.c

I got a advisory for a sump leak a few years back in my old car.
"Bad Oil leak" Lol.

Aye, just put it in for MOT and see how it goes. :)

usual stuff in my experience has been;

Headlamp alignment.
Handbrake adjustment (cable pull).
Hazard warning switch.
Bulbs (dont ask).
Rust (again dont mention)

Do the springs dislocate when jacked up? thats a failure.

Good luck.

all should be ok, must jsut check the springs they are onl 35mm at the minute im guessing they should be ok?

got the headlight sorted - threads were rusted up on adjusters gave them a clean so getting them sorted this afternoon and new clip to hold one in, should be me hopefully

cheers for advice fellas

Both mine used to fail on corroded rear chassis legs and rear inner arch, everything else was usually fine. Oh, and the Mk2 hazard switch never working properly lol.
