Yeah?
Every xe on tbs i've been near was crap when cold... Cause none of them had it.
Rusted front jacking points/chassis legs
HIDs
Insecure headlamps
Rear seats with fixed bucket seats fitted
FAIL Pmsl lol lol lol
Well, three of those are easy :).
How bad is the chassis?
So, youll be busy now then chapQuote:

I would do it myself, but it just isnt the weather to be sitting outside grinding/welding, so im not sure what do. Its the two rails behind the splash guard that are weak/corroded. So quite a tricky place to make plates for too,hmmm.
Craig-nope, he wasnt wise to the HIDs at all. He didn't even know they were HIDs, thought it was just dodgy headlamp lenses till i explained :roll: He failed it because he says the headlamps no longer produce beams, they just throw light everywhere. Like looking at two mega bright blobs he described it as lol lol
For once the tester was a really sound guy! The emissions were sky high so he sat the engine at about 6000rpm for a minute, which then got them down to a passable level. He could if he wanted have just said fail as soon as the emissions failed both the fast idle tests....
But he put himself out to get it to pass
He was also going fail on insecure front springs when jacked up, until i quickly wound the adjuster up to make the spring tight :thumb:
The fixes are simple, remove and bin rear seats and belts. Fit std headlamp bulbs, cable tie headlamps in to secure the bottoms.
Its just the welding that is either going to be a utter c**t to repair myself, or cost me a lot of cash for them to put right.
Bit of a pisser about the welding dude :(
Aye it is.
But oh well its only a car.
I have much more interesting things to do atm :D
oooh, sounds interesting...
