Ian Barrett Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I've just finished working on the Landy since February and booked it in for a new MOT tomorrow. Its last MOT was October 2007 with 116281 miles on the clock and shes now done 117710 so she hasn't exactly been used in the last 4 years. So after this lot I hope she will pass Learn to weld !! Remove exhaust and brackets, NAS towbar/step, A-frame, rear tie-bars. Cut out rear chassis rot, weld in fillets and overplate for strength Replace A-frame bush (cheated on this and got a local company to do it) Clean and POR15 paint; ..the chassis from front bulkhead backwards (everything forwards of this is nicely covered in engine oil. The joys of a leaky rear crank seal) ..A-frame, exhaust brackets, tie bars and rear axle ..rear cross-member and fit the missing body spacers to stop the electrolytic corrosion rewire the towbar electrics so I don't have to turn on the foglights to get the lights to work refit the towbar remove shocks and springs, test, paint then refit. overhaul rear brake calipers with new seals etc replace rear drums and shoes (TWICE because the drums were square and the shoe spring pins in the wrong place) make new rear copper brake lines and front caliper hard line I broke removing the caliper (I had to learn how to make brake lines !) fit braided hoses refurbish front brake calipers with new pistons and seals replace OSF brake rotor replace front brake pads and install new pad retainer kit as the anti-rattle springs were missing replace both front swivels and seals replace both track rod ends and repaint the track rod remove sills and fit new galvanised rock sliders remove rock sliders because they're too blingy prep and paint rock sliders with POR15 and refit Keep your fingers crossed for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 They'll both fail miserably Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Barrett Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 If mine fails its YOUR fault Les as I've followed your guides for most of the jobs I've done. (so a belated but very grateful Thank You anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I always dread MOT time, makes me feel like I'm back at school and it's me being tested! Anyway Had mine tested last week and it passed, a couple of advisories on bits but two of the three advisories I suspected I'd get anyway.... all the other bits I had been fretting over (and was still waiting for parts for) were fine to my surprise. I came to the conclusion I worry too much ... and have probably replaced far too much of the 110 over the past year! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Barrett Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 FAIL !!!!! 001 (injector) Fuel system component leaking [ 7.2.1a ] and an Advisory Item 002 (droparm) Ball joint has slight play [ 2.2.B.1f ] They said the fail is is either a leaking fuel return pipe OR injectors. Thats as much as they could tell me, they hadn't had a wipe around to see what it was or if the injectors just needed a nip up. Bloody useless. I've got it home, fitted new fuel pipes and fuel clips and cleaned the engine. I just need to run it now to check its all OK Booked in for a retest on Monday. I might even have the ball joint fixed before it goes back, just as a metaphorical poke in the eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Barrett Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Well, after fitting new low pressure fuel lines between the injectors she was back in for a retest this morning and passed. In and out in 10 minutes flat. I took a few pictures to celebrate the occasion and I'll post them up shortly in Members Vehicles Forum My thanks to all those who have answered my daft questions and helped me get her through.
