dangerous MOT and ridiculus second hand turbo

<< < (3/4) > >>

kizz81:
both from the same place,
i have a recon turbo now, paid for that with an am and a leg :shock:
will call vosa tomorow and see what they say, most likly they will get away with it

the garage in question said they did the mot prep ( he paid £60 for that bit )then they sent it to a differant garage to have the mot, are they both at fault??

cheers kieran

Well it gets me that people are thinking there vehicle is good with 12 months mot. The stardards for a mot is bare miniumin. Read the back of the VT20 you are responsible for the other 364 days of the year :|

If you do get vosa involved they will want £56.10 for a test up front. But you will get it back if the garage is @ fault 8-[

That only applies if you actually want a new MOT, not if you are just reporting the garage (IIRC). 

I went through the appeal system a few months ago with my Defender.

Agreed, call VOSA if not for you mate but for the other peopl who are likely to have the same things happen to them.

I'm sure there are plenty of us who have had a vehcile fail the test only for the tester to let it pass so long as we do the work, ie bulbs out, horn not working etc, but fixed in the car park before we leave or the cert is printed, but these days are mostly gone now.

Could you live with the knowledge that if you don't report them  some else may be hurt and you knew full well that they were a dangerous outfit?

The MOT is only as good as the test on the day , YOU KNEW the motor had a dodgy chassis when you took , so why are you bleating now.. trying to blame somebody else..
