The dampers are leaking from the top..? barely call it leaking.. but it wasnt dry..
The middle, or top hose pic, with wheel on was of twisted/before pic.. the bottom, or second hose pic, wheel off (although its the other side) is after.. this is the one that then caught on the wheel lol.. now fecked..
On the scounge for o.e rubber ones for now - the one goodridge one got chewed..
It'll be alright, no panic at the disco yet..
Oh and the C.V boot are ok, its just brake fluid, they passed - no split its ok..
-
At least its failed on nothing difficult/time cosuming to fix :)
-
oh yeah, absolutely.. got the bit between my teeth..

Dave, when i last had it mot'd (got to say it's probably well over 3 years ago now?) they'd noticed that fluid was escaping from the bottom of the strut onto the cv gaiter. If you look carefully it's not actually fluid, it packing grease out of the strut. When the car is on the move it fires grease over the cv gaiters. I also had the same advisory on the n/s mount bearing, tester at the time though said it wasn't excessive. The front struts are T.A.S custom made units with bilstein inserts.
Really glad there's not much else though, and it's looking REALLY good! Can't wait to see it again at pvs!

thanks john, we knew not to take a fail for granted, always can be much worse..
Going as planned really, with as you say - not many issues.
-
That looks ruddy awesome Dave! The interior really works together, shame about the MOT, but as least its not anything major..
-
Looks an awsome nova, the car must be better quality than new. keep it up
-
unlucky with the mot failure -they were pretty unhelpful really
