Mot Failure

[Bigbadbowen 8]

Well the old girl (not the one in my avatar) failed on the following

 

Head light bulb different colour to other side

 

Headlights aim to low

 

Number plate bulb

 

Worn flex hose on the front

 

I think they were being a bit picky my self oh well fixed most of them now just need a flexi hose

That's not bad at all really!!

Most places will sort the height adjustment out there and then... Only a screw driver job after all!!

I know it wasn't the usuall guy but some other chap who was obviously not so keen on a stripped out gti6 engined 205

coincidentally, mine just failed on:

headlight aim too high (the tester fixed that for free),

the rear number plate bulb (I tapped it and it started working again!)

and a twisted front flexi (my fault for not checking after I changed the calipers last month, just unbolted the caliper and spun it round 360degrees and all was good)

 

The tester also said he liked the tu5 conversion, but wasnt too keen on the wide arches...

All sorted now nice new 12 month ticket

 

But funny how things start to go wrong on the way home ? Brake switch came loose and indicator decided to play up ? Typical French wiring me thinks?

 

Unplugged the indicator a few times then re housed it all sorted ? Work that one out ?

 

Brake switch had come loose - at least it easier to get than a 306

Front indicators are notorious for suffering from bad connections, given the unsealed connectors in an exposed environment that encourages corrosion. Normally cleaning up any obvious corrosion, a little WD40, and reseating them fixes the issue.

 

Front washer pump, earths, driving lamps and a few other bits at the front suffer from the same problem, all owing to Peugeot skimping on connectors. Later cars like the 306 are nowhere near as bad as Peugeot learnt their lesson and used sealed plugs, thus dramatically reducing the ability for moisture to get into the connector and corrode it.
