And rear N/S caliper handbrake not working

Overall, very pleased. Hopefully should be able to fix them on Sunday and re-test either Monday or Tuesday

 

Always a nervous time is the MOT date with an RS

Mine has NEVER failed

 

If its the car in your sig where was the N/S headlight pointing ? In the boot ??

 

pmsl @ tony

 

I was gonna say what fooking N/S headlight

 

Well say it then

 

pmsl

 

Fook off Ł4.70 for a mug People must be mugs to buy them PMSL i want a mug, will you do discount?

 

my car sailed through its last MOT

 

2 for a tenner (plus p&p)

Ad, how were the front brakes ?

 

That's not so bad then Adam. How are you mate, long time no chat.

 

pmsl

 

i bought a rs owners mug at ford rair for Ł3.00

 

If i remember rightly your brakes have always been a bit dodgy

Moat Park ring any bells

How are you anyway?! Long time no see! National Day 2 years ago i think?!

 

PMSL, chells got a good point

 

that will be a new caliper then mine was the same

 

Thanks all.... Tony

NUTS RuS, Front brakes were fine, MOT tester didn't even say a thing about em

TrevCos, I'm good mate, where ya been hiding ? How ya doing ?

Chelle S1 RST, Hey Chelle, God, i forgot about that "accident" , i have left some memorable moments in my old RS. I'm good thanks, hows you ?

Tim, Not sure, cause the cable doesn't even move on that side, gonna check it tomorrow tho.

Oh and my reverse light started working all by there selfs

 

cheep fix then

 

Not too bad then mate, easy to fix and should get a free re-test!

 

Free Re-test only counts if the car hasnt been driven since the 1st test. As hes taken it home to do the repairs in the meantime. Its up to the testing place if they do a freebie.

If hed let the testing place do thr repairs the rule says they have to do a freebie if its within 7 days (AFAIK)

 

I got a free re-test on my old escort after it failed its MOT, and I drove it about 40 miles between the tests AND my dad did the work required on it at his own garage!

But one thing that does ring a bell is that it had to be within 7 days of the original test

 

Yes i'm good thanks.

Hope you get yours sorted soon.

 

7 days for a free re-test

Will be checking hand brake issue tonight, hoping its just a problem with the cable

Had another problem arise, bottom water pipe from water pump to rad is getting eaten by the alternator Time for some DIY action

There was a couple of "Advise" things..... 1 was about a CV boot had been "repaired" and the other was about the chassis legs have been replaired, which i knew when i bought the bloody thing

 

shorty alternator belt mate, easy fix, and no diy bodging involved

 

James, the belt is new. Its cause my rad isn't fixed down or mounted properly. Having problems with rad, fans and IC. Fans keep hitting IC, rad too far back and hose catching alternator and IC too far forward and bonnet hitting IC.... never ending with RS's

 

I've just put a shorter alternator belt on.
I just popped down Halfords with the original one and had a search through and got a shourter one.

 

you will need to book you r car in for the re-test mate
