gutted. But spoke with AndyValver n my old man and they pursuaded me to keep it.

Here is what she failed on:

Tested Items That Failed:

Offside rear stop lamp not working

emmissions not tested [x9999] [no fumes out my back box due to blown exhaust

Horn does not function

nearside front steering rack gaiter insecure

offside front PAS pipes or hoses leaking

nearside front lower suspension arm rubber mounting deteriorated resulting in excessive movement

nearside front exhaust system has a major leak of gases

mid and front unions exhaust has major leak of gases

rear offside and nearside brake hose ferrule excessively corroded

front lower offside and nearside suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint

nearside front front CV joint gaiter split

all rear steel brake pipes excessively corroded

nearside rear brake brake cable has wires broken and is significantly weakened

front lower offside and nearside anti-roll bar linkage rubber mounting detoriorated resulting in excessive movement

parking brake efficiency below requirements

offside brake pipe slightly damaged

gutted. But spoke with AndyValver n my old man and they pursuaded me to keep it.

Here is what she failed on:

Measurements:
Brakes failures: RBT Park Brake Efficiency: 12%

easy fix

Tested Items That Failed:

Offside rear stop lamp not working

bulb!

emmissions not tested [x9999] [no fumes out my back box due to blown exhaust

new exhaust

Horn does not function

very common, unplug 1 horn then see if it works obviously to need to move the feed wire a few I have worked on 1 horn dies and the result is neither work

nearside front steering rack gaiter insecure

cable tie

offside front PAS pipes or hoses leaking

dependign where it is jubilee clips need tightened seen this a few times as well only on clios the superior 19 never has these issues :P

nearside front lower suspension arm rubber mounting deteriorated resulting in excessive movement

new wishbone complete with new balljoint and buishes is about 30 quid

nearside front exhaust system has a major leak of gases

mid and front unions exhaust has major leak of gases

rear offside and nearside brake hose ferrule excessively corroded

thats is not a failure unless the pipes are leakign or rattlign about

front lower offside and nearside suspension arm has excessive play in a ball joint

tenner for a balljoint on the offside and a new balljoint comes with the wishbone on the nearside

nearside front front CV joint gaiter split

pain in the arse but cheap enough

all rear steel brake pipes excessively corroded

piss easy to replace the pipes

nearside rear brake brake cable has wires broken and is significantly weakened

new cables from gsf I got a pair for 11quid

front lower offside and nearside anti-roll bar linkage rubber mounting detoriorated resulting in excessive movement

gay clio design problem easy cheap fix

parking brake efficiency below requirements

offside brake pipe slightly damaged

rubber or steel?

I got told last mot that I only only just passed on this and that it needs looking into soon as it was as tight as it can possible be..

What am I looking at to fix that?
