Some MOT testers will try anything to get some extra cash out of you, suggest you check the following link (maybe even print it out) in case they try anything.

Failed on Rear wheel bearing and rear fogs...

[Calisto]

[jaxx]

[Jimlad]

my MOT is due next month. I suppose I better get round to wiring up my rear foggy again.. lol.

[Bibbs]

Damn .. I chose the drop links over the bearings (it's always one or the other) ..

[jez_1_2000]

3 faults ..

Handbrake cables

Low pads

Drop links ..

these common things for the mr2 then?

[Bibbs]

The handbrake cables usually freeze and streach over winter due to the car design ..

Pads wear quick cause it's a failry heavy car ..

Droplinks and bearings are things a garage can charge a lot for and hard to prove they were okay before the MOT ..

[jez_1_2000]

hard to prove they were okay before the MOT ..

so they damage them while checking???

[Bibbs]

or just replace them and charge you ..

[jez_1_2000]

or just replace them and charge you ..

I'll be watching them like a hawk while they have their grubby fingers on my baby.....lol

[Fizz]
