#1: Another MOT Fail! Author: Ojay, Location: IpswichPosted: Tue Jul 05, 2011 7:12 am ---- Had my puglet in for its MOT today, failed for the 3rd year running - awesome!
This time it's the exhaust: major leak from the front pipe. The test centre quoted me £374 to get it done to which I said thanks but no thanks or words to that affect!
What sort of price should I be looking for for this does anyone know? Thanking ya'all

#4: Re: Another MOT Fail! Author: Ojay, Location: IpswichPosted: Tue Jul 05, 2011 7:16 am ---- Ah yeah, my bad. It's a 2002 1.1L
#5: Re: Another MOT Fail! Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2011 7:17 am ---- If its the downpipe, its about £70 for a stainless one. If your cat is on the downpipe, then it could be anything from £100 - £300.
If its the manifold, it could just be a gasket, or if its split, you could get a cheap second hand one. No idea how much though.

Stick your head under the bonnet and see if you can identify where the leak is. You might need to move your hand over the joints but you should feel where the leak is.

You might only need a new clamp or to tighten one up. Its a minor issue.
#8: Re: Another MOT Fail! Author: Ojay, Location: IpswichPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 3:28 am ---- Got it done and dusted and serviced for £150 in the end- some places proper take the p*ss! 370 odd quid my a**e! Another year of 1.1 litre fun for me then.
Ta for the advice guys

#10: Re: Another MOT Fail! Author: Ojay, Location: IpswichPosted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 8:08 am ---- New down pipes and a bolt apparenty, which has now made it sound leas like a tractor- which is dissappointing
