Title: MOT failure
Post by: m1tch on March 05, 2010, 12:43:43 PM
Hi all, my FC has failed on 1 point, a bulging flexi brake pipe on the front, they have missed on the ABS light being on lol *phew* but for a single flexi pipe for the front..£131 lol full set of Goodrich braided hoses..£70 delivered, unfortunatly I don\'t have the braided lines, so I am just going to get them to replace with OEM and sort out the braided lines later this year *sigh*

Ah well lol :) still pretty good as if the lines were fine there would have passed with only a few advisories, stuff from last year like a bit of corrosion here and there, but nothing major/structual, so I am happy it has passed with a really really rich idle lol

Thanks for the offer pete, unfortunatly the garage can\'t hold onto the car for a part to arrive, so I have just asked them to get it sorted, I will need some welding on the front of the sills and they said they will get me a discount on that instead.

I guess it just shows that the next weakest line is the next to go, I have a master cylinder, hard pipes to brakes, flexi brake pipes and then the uprated brakes, the weak link in the chain is the flexi pipes, that will soon be rectified when I get braided later in the year :)
