How Far Can I Go...

Recommended Posts

Hi guys

Failed the MOT the other day with a "serious leak on OS rear damper"

Went to change it and long story short, had to grind off lower bolt but I am now without 1

Pug said they'll get me 1 but not till Monday

So my question is, can I drive the 20 mile round trip to work tomorrow and sunday, without a damper fitted?

Or is it gonna put too much stress on the other one/torsion bar?

 

Cheers

Its not advisable to drive it any distance at all without a damper, ever more so with an odd amount of dampers, it would make the car bounce uncontrollably.

 

not only that you shouldn't drive a car on the road if it hasn't got an MOT, even worse if it has failed one!
