offside front headlight aim too high
exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content at idle excessive
exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive
nearside rear parking brake recording little or no effort
nearside front brake pipe twisted (found during steering wheel lock to lock check)

MANY THANKS GUYS hope is isnt too much

#7: Re: MOT FAIL :( HOW MUCH YOU GUYS RECKON THIS WOULD COST Author: nakednakeddave, Location: aberdeenPosted: Sat Jun 04, 2011 10:32 am ---- well should think a new cat and brake pipes will be about 200-250 with labour and the parking brake wont be much. and the headlight is a 2 minute job
#8: Re: MOT FAIL :( HOW MUCH YOU GUYS RECKON THIS WOULD COST Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Sat Jun 04, 2011 10:59 am ---- Your meant to thrash the a**e off the car before the MOT to heat the cat up
#9: Re: MOT FAIL :( HOW MUCH YOU GUYS RECKON THIS WOULD COST Author: Seabook, Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2011 11:38 am ---- brake pipe is cheap. (will need brake fluid too.)
might need a new cat/ O2 sensor. post out the whole emission reading is helpful.
tighten up handbrake cable.
#10: Re: MOT FAIL :( HOW MUCH YOU GUYS RECKON THIS WOULD COST Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Sat Jun 04, 2011 11:45 am ---- Fill up with Shell v power before the test and have a good run it for at least half an hour. What was the emission reading?
Check your nearside handbrake cable to make sure its not snapped. If thats ok then the shoes may need adjustment.
Headlamp adjustment, as been mentioned
Take it you mean the flexipipe is twisted. Is it wrapped round a suspension part? Might just need moving so that it runs along the correct path. Difficult to tell without seeing it. If you can get a pic then it will help.
