im seriously thinking about breaking my car after mot today:(

[Charged]

It is all about going to the right MOT tester, some will be stricter than others.. I've never had any problems with this sort of thing. Thousands of cars have their cats removed and still pass their MOT.

Well Dave, I guess I'm cursed too. Started up my car this morning, lo and behold I was met with the battery light, the cat over temp light and the intercooler fan light.

My alternators goosed itself again

Not sure what to do now, I have a spare here that I could get refurbed, or I could bend over and get shafted to the tune of £424 for a brand new one from Mr T.

Nah Marf, you should scrap it

[Marf]

Hmm I wonder if I could get the scrappage allowance on this





Bah who am I kidding

[Shmed]

Maybe, if you only want one of the wheels

Well mate, if you can get down to mine one day, ill give you a hand to fit it mate

Get your overhauled, i got quoted between 50 and 60 quid which i thought was cheap, Found out my alternator wasnt the problem though thats all im saying though cos i will get pointed and laughed at

[Marf]

Thanks for the offer man, I've got it booked in at my local garage already. I doubt she'd make it to your place without conking out on me

Battery dead?

Long and short of it,
i had this prob last time,
basically did the test on all 3 pins and found the black and yellow wire wasnt giving a feed,
so few months ago i ran a new feed, still didnt solve the prob
The found out after all that it was the fuse

Anyhow, the second time it happened, it was the alternator for sure, so stuart lent me his (cheers mate) and whilst i was under there i decided that because the wire didnt in effect need to be there anymore i pulled it out.

Started the car fine adn was great , then on to this ocasion
Tested all 3 wires again and guess what, black and yellow wire was only recieving 5 volts, checked the fuse was ok this time though along with other usual checks and yep everything was fine.

So the final stretch was basically i had to re-run a new cable (bearing in mind this was the second time )

So moral of the story is, if it aint broken, dont fiddle with it
