Failed my MOT yesterday on the following :(

Rear OS & NS break pipes corroded
Fuel leak (petrol) from rear OS pipe
play in the front OS wheel bearing

All now repaired and back in for another MOT today 8)

First MOT cost £40.00
Parts £5.50

What a rip off for return tests, I took the vehicle beck less than 24hrs after the original test, the vehicle had done 1/2 mile between tests. :x

Just found this on an MOT web site & thought that it may be of some interest.

DEFENDER ANTI-ROLL BARS
I was wondering whether you could help with the following, or put me in
touch with someone who can give advice? Some Land Rover Defender drivers remove or disconnect their rear anti-roll bars to help improve rear wheel articulation (indeed, a lot of Defenders don't have them fitted). But we've heard from a reader that the MOT rules are due to change and this would result in a failure. Is this correct? John Pearson, Editor-in-Chief, Land Rover Owner International magazine.
I am unaware of any changes to the MOT regarding Landrover Defenders’ anti-roll bars. In any event anti-roll bars are not Tested in the MOT so it is difficult to see how their being removed would have any effect. – MOTT.
