My Wife's BMW Has An Uninspected MOT Failure, Can I Get It Back On The Road?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

My wife's BMW strikes again! It seems to be a problem with this car every time I have a Day off. Once again I have to down my tools on the VW Polo R Line and fix a major problem with the BMW. This was a massive problem and failed its MoT miserably, now my wife hasn't got a car to drive and this needs to be my number one priority before I'm back to work. I've rebooked the BMW back into the MOT station for 10:00am, can I do It in time? Things keep getting worse after the bad news with the Audi S1 that's all I need is more problems, but I'm sure I can sort it out.

    Best replace the Shocks as a pair, same with pads and discs

    For brakes, always worth taking off the brake carrier, so you can file the edges where the pads sit and wire brush on a drill attachment. Half of brake problems are seized pads in the carrier (tell tale is one pad wears prematurely), seized sliders or sticky pistons.

    I wouldn’t use ratchet spanners for trying to undo really tight fittings, likely to damage the pawls inside the spanner and it will a right pain to use then.

    When my 1 series 118d needed rear shocks, I did a bit of sleuthing on ebay and Facebook market place managed to get a pair of TRW msport, which turned out to be made in the same place Sachs, they looked identical as well except the sticker. Paid a fraction of the price they are from euro car parts etc, working out part numbers that were superseded then search that, people are alway selling single shocks as they buy a pair then don't bother fitting both.

    Wouldn't touch any of these expensive German cars Audi, VW, Mercs, BMWs, all expensive over complicated junk. My 2005 Ford Fusion bought nearly new, easy to work on, super cheap parts, starts 1st time every time, zero rusting, never let me down, on same shocks, 1st battery and rear exhaust box lasted over 13 years, new cambelt 8 years ago, no other costs apart from annual servicing done by myself.

    False economy not changing the wear sensor, I thought I could get away with it on my 1 series but after putting it all back together had the warning light for low pads, turned out even though it looked in perfect order it must of had an internal break in the wire. I had to take it \ll apart again to fit a new one anyway, so for the sake of a tenner I'm going to a;ways change them as a matter of course.
