#1: MOT FAIL!!! Author: netra, Location: AshPosted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 5:40 am ---- Hello, I just did my MOT on 206, it is a fail so was wondering if anyone can help me or give me good advice.
- Nearside rear radius arm bearing has excess play (complete axle will be required)
The MOT guys said its better getting a new car?????
#2: Re: MOT FAIL!!! Author: HDI90, Location: sunny stokePosted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 6:19 am ---- If you know abit about cars you could do it yourself
1 depending how far its gone you could replace the bearing (£50)
2 2nd hand drive shaft (£30)
3 sticking caliper or pads pads are about £20 from ECP
4 wd40 unsieze it yourself
5 tyres maybe get some buget or part worns to keep cost down
so £150 if you go that way but if you start putting axels on then it bumps it up. whats the value of the car??

The fine per illegal tyre is up to £2.5k & 3 penalty points on your licence, maybe you should look after you car a bit better

The one that sticks the exhaust gas analyser into a newer car while doing the test

#13: Re: MOT FAIL!!! Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 4:24 pm ---- A garage bypassing an emissions test is one thing, a garage that will pass a car with safety issues is another.

What's to say your next 206 wont have the same issues - or more - 6 months down the line. At least if you do the above jobs, they will not bother you again for many months.
There is feck all on that list. A mornings work. Time to buy a Haynes manual... or maybe a second hand one as you sound like you are on a budget

I may be wrong, but if you get a refurb/second hand axle then you will need to either swap the existing brake drums over or it will come with drums already attached. This should sort the rear brake issue out.
The brake regulator valve is attached to the rear suspension so this can be freed at the same time. 3 jobs in one. Second hand axle from £50 (but may be worse than yours) refurb from about £300
Driveshaft from £50 new plus about 2 hours to change
No excuse for worn tyres. I would get the tracking checked when it's replaced though.
Do it all yourself for less than £400 with new/refurb parts
I don't suppose the garage sells cars too? Fail yours, get you to buy a new one part ex, fix yours for a couple of hundred and then sell it on for a tidy profit
