Title: MOT today
Post by: Prof on June 25, 2009, 02:46:39 PM
It\'s a pass :driving:cool:)
 
A few advisories - mostly front sway bar and wheel bearings need a tightening - might have a look see if I can get some new hubs for rixxy.
 
I still need to sort my exhaust hangers - they are ok but will not last till winter

Whats were your emissions like then?
Congrats on the pass there Dave,always nice to have that out the way for another year.

Let me know where you go for the Hubs as I am thinking about buying the bearings, especially for the rear. I know they will come apart easily as they were off last year.

Last time I enquired about just getting Bearings, Mazda only do the hub as a whole unit - so if anyone can actually get bearings only that would be excellent.

The manual says 88-118 Nm (65-87 ft-lb) for the lug nuts.
