It's that time of the year again....

Well, after the v8 disco going through the MOT first time (1 advisory

- battery not secure) its the turn of the 200tdi disco next.

Whats the requirement on exhausts?

My back box dropped off, no noticeable change in note, it came apart right at the box, so I have the tailpipe with its bump over the axle and then it stops underneath - is this legal for the MOT? (if i tidy the end of the pipe up :-))

And having now changed the handbrake shoes and actually made it worse, is the adjustment of the cable fairly easy?

...but how would they know? The MOT test does not include anything that involves opening the bonnet - and in fact in times gone by mine has been padlocked shut (Stage One) with no key supplied :s

But it does, how else do you check all the brake lines, given that the brake master cylinder is under the bonnet. I would also say that you struggle to fully inspect other items such as shock absorber mountings, and firewall corrosion. Diesels should also be oil checked prior to the smoke test

no, but if you extend the pipe with a spare bit of exhaust to reach the back, it will be. Provided it's secure, doesn't leak and doesn't make excessive noise, natch.
