nicko Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 My 2000 1.4 16v lupo failed the mot yesterday on:front disks and pads (they looked fine to me but are apparently badly pitted) - still not the end of the world.centre section of the exhaust blowing and needs replacing.but strangest of all is a fail on "play in the steering" - i haven't got a clue what could cause this or be the cure.Can anybody give me some advice on the steering issue? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopyLing Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 No idea but where you from and what colour's your Lupo? Quite a few South Wales types on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicko Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Okay - spoke to the mechanic guy who gave me good and bad news -good - the steering issue was due to a nut missing which (he claims) could have caused me to loose the steering at any time - he's fixed that.bad news - the cat section of the exhauset has a hole in the flexable bit but he reckons it all comes as one piece - £150!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LoopyLing Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Cat & Flexi are seperate. That's not a bad priced cat, or a very expensive flexi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
