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 ?

cheep fix then

Dan

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

Rich_w

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)

Dan

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

Chelle S1 RST

Yes i'm good thanks.

Hope you get yours sorted soon.

Adam_BlackRS

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

Adam_BlackRS

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

zvhturbo

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.
