Couple of weeks ago my car failed on:
Front spring broken
Front o/s tyre not same as other 3
N/s headlight too low
O/s handbreak not holding
Both rear jacking points need welding
OK I need a holiday like anybody else. So I did the work and had one. Put the car in for the sills to be welded (about a 3" square patch) and re-MOT today.
Garage rang me to advise it failed test again:
Rear spring broken
Front brake hoses u/s
Exhaust back box has a hole in it
N/s headlight too high
The front jacking points really need attention but not part of MOT so let it go
Yeah I know I might have adjusted the headlight too high after putting two new springs on the front. I am at a loss to understand how the rest happened in driving 4 miles. Thats all its done from the test station and back.
I'm thinking of beating it a la Basil Fawlty or parting it out at the moment.
