Mot faliure

[meggles]

Like I said many times before - taking your MOT at a garage that does the work is like leaving your keys in your vehicle outside the flicks! Use the concil depot or make it quite clear you you have a tame mechanic.

Whilst I tend to agree in some circumstances, I have to say that not all garages are like that. Find a good one and stick to it. Ojsmith will, I'm sure, agree with me!

yep, i have to agree. i had a garage recommended to me, so i took the van down to them and the fella was brilliant. i explained this was all new to me and he let me watch, get underneath and show me all the bits and bobs and what 'generally' goes wrong etc.... turns out the fella is a campervan 'nut' and owns 3 of his own

goes without question i will be giving him all my future MOT's

It all depends on the mot tester, this time the owner of the garage did it. Did a full mot, checked the carburettor settings set the mixture .And I was charged now’t .He asked who had do the work ,which I did .And seamed a bit puzzled on some of the mot failure points last time. But never mind the bus is on the road and we are away for two weeks in August and a week in September and couple of vw bus, camper do’s if I have time.

Pleased you got a pass, great result! As you said, depends on tester (who it is hoped knows the current regulations and isn't looking for work. Hence, when you find a good garage stick to it!
BTW, Stoke isn't too far away, why not come to Sept meet at Rainton? It's free to camp! (And Yorkshire Dales is less then 30 mins away!). Will gladly escort you there after meet.
