Well shes at the MOT station at the moment so its the moment of truth :D should have her back within the hour

these bits arrived thismorning so will be sorting them out over the next couple of days to hopefully fix the lack of water pump and intermittent power stearing :blink:

Rear High Level Brake Light Doesnt Work

And Rear Off Side Parking Brake dont work very well

Ben has had the brake light working so he knows it does and hes going to strip down the rear brakes tomorrow and see whats going on and give them a service! so she did well! didnt think she would pass 1st time but did better than we thaught :wub:

Ben is going to fit all the bits above tomorrow and sort out the mot problems and she will have a re test and be taxed on thursday :D

Rear high level brake light not working is not an MOT fail...

What was that about lack of waterpump?

water pump is shot got no heat inside and car goes above normal temp and flashes a red light at me lol

as for the brake light my boyfreind said that to him as its his cus whos doing the mot and he said if its there it has to be working but if i was to put some tape over it then it would pass but if its there and fitted from factory it has to work which is fair enough :D

shes nearly there nows

3rd brake lights are a massive grey area, most places will only give an advisory warning at the most.

Not far off now.

:o :o

You are driving it with no water pump? Remember the temp sensor is away from the block so the actual temp of the important bits will be considerably higher given there is no water flow!

I failed an MOT for 3rd brake light for the reasons above, even though it was covered with tape

Well, shes a beaut!! Love it!!!

Just gotta sort out the power steering :( starting to be popeye on one arm! :P

Would anyone know what it might be?

I would get it 4-wheel aligned.

Sounds like the castor angle might be a long way out.
