hi guys. jinboy failed mot today :blink: . only two problems though, exhaust silencer , easy one, second defect o/s/f swivel joint excessive play ? any help on this please , would it be kingpin or wheel bearing? . im sure someone has had this before . have not had a look myself yet just going on what mot man is saying. funny thing is the exhaust never sounded like it was blowing, i did ask if it could be welded but they said no it needs a new one. just waiting for them to quote me but might do it myself depending on the swivel joint ?
yep your right , just spoke to them now , up and down movement so kingpins it is. i have questioned the exhaust cause if it passed the emissions test the exhaust cant be bad enough to fail surely ?
dont know about the wording yet . garage closed before i could get there but the guy i spoke to on the phone is a complete idiot. i have told them i will try to get down there tomorrow and inspect myself. i phoned and asked for him to clarify what work needed doing with regards to the swivel play and he said he was unsure , to which i replied how do you know what parts to quote for then? . i then told him what parts i wanted quoting for and he said , mot , silencer , o/s kingpin bearings and seal £300 all in. fitted (2hrs labour). i also asked has the silencer got a hole , is it split etc etc and his reply .... it just needs a new one! .i am thinking small hole if any as never heard it blowing.
