MOT, Servicing and Emissions

ask here i may be able to help

Hi Moh.Test for car is on 30 june.Will let you know how things turn out.
Thanks for help

Best of luck with the test if you have any queries ally pm me as i dont always pop in to this thread or i should say i forget to come in here

failed mot moh, two new gaters, power steering problem, vibrates hen you turn the wheel right, can`t be the punp as was suggested as a new one was fitted last year. new rack do you think. oh lights out of linemeant but i can sort that easily enough. any info would be greatly appreciated.


sounds like iv a plonk who aint got a clue been told its probaly one of the cv joints on the right side, 7th moh ideas would be greatly appreciated.

For the vibration, check the inner/outer tie rod ends and make sure they're not loose. If they're tight, then cv joint would be the next logical thing to inspect. Start by making sure the boot is intact, no rips or tears allowing the grease to come out.

In my experience there is normally a clicking or ticking noise on turns when one of the cv joints is on it's way out.

cheers 7th the boot( called gaiters here) have had it both need replacing.

Then it's possible the cv joint itself has got road grit in it, and could be wearing. That could very well be where your problem is mate.

thanx 7th didnt think it would be the rack, i can get a cv joint fo £52m rack £179. il take it out of the mot centre and get a mechanic to look. **** lot of use these plonks were.i might just report them as they couldnt tell me why it was doing it. quality mechanics over here , most of them.

There are plenty of those same "quality" mechanics out here too Dee.

its a national company, told me they would`nt be able to look at the prob til friday, my brains just woken up, im now being charged £15 for parkin when i work 100 meters away & i can park for free.
