Mot Passed

[Smilge]

Car passed its MOT last Friday with just 3 advisories:

 

Antirollbar bushes on both sides slight play.

 

Offside CV boot split.

 

The rollbar bushes are no problem but the CV boot will mean having to pull the driveshaft ...... anyone done this? ...... I assume its a similar procedure to most other cars ..... anything I need to watch out for?

you'll need a new driveshaft bolt and a circlip (assuming its a similar setup to the mk1)

gear box will need topping up

be careful you don't nick the driveshaft seals on the gearbox when removing/re installing.

Lower ball joints can be an absolute b*****d to remove, soak em in wd40 the night before.

Skinned knuckles are compulsory

 

Have fun :D
