help , MOT fail

thanks for all your help guys. as always this forum delivers help and good advice thanks to its members.. keep it going guys and thanks once again. will update on progress tomorrow. Also got a price for a clutch today as that got fryed on last outing , £212 +vat fitted. good price .unfortunatly after sorting out all this work i will have to put winch and lift kit on back boiler as i didnt expect the mot work and bought myself a boat at the weekend. (being a man is costly ) but fair play to the wife , not a word said. happy days

personaly i would get the jimny back from mot center & do the repairs yourself

£25 for bearings & oil seal
replace rear box or repair it if you have a welder

labour charge free

that is what im thinking. where are you getting the price for bearings and seal for £25 . cheers

Kingpin bearings can be done in under an hour yourself(with practice of doing it before) the exhaust as said could just be de-laminating. I pulled the outer skin off and it lasted over 2 years after, the hanger bust off first then when i tried to get the back box off the rest of the system was shot up to the cat.

I find with some MOT places they will chance their arm on work they think people can't check themselves. I've now found a place that just does MOT's and doesn't do the work so has no interest in failing it to make money.

ah thought the bearings would take longer than that so thanks for that. do you need a press to do the bearings ?
