Took my civic in for a mot today and unfortunatley it failed!
It failed on 3 things no advisories.
I fitted a rear tie bar and they are saying there isnt enough thread out and under pressure it could release and let go. But surely it would of flagged up before and these bar kits would come with longer bolts. Plus on my old civic i had the same bar and it passed no problems.
Anyhoo there taking it off then thats not a problem.
But do i need to find longer bolts or just stick it back on? It had alot of turns before it really tightened so i thought it was fine. And my last one was.
Another was a dust cover which is fine they already have a replacement.
The other is the bonnet cable clip. Now this is a common thing and i was going to fix it but never got round it before mot. Its still easy to open but they said no it needs to be as it should be.
Another point i would like to make is my old one had this, same garage, mot time. They passed it! So why now are they failing it.
They now say they have no knowledge of passing my last one and cant even remember the car.
It did go there a few times but tbh im not too bothered as there cheap fixes and it will be ready to collect passed tomorrow or saturday morning.
Im just wondering if anyone else has had problems like this or are they being arsey.
i have had problems with this garage from cars i have sent there but not my own.
And i havent found a garage i really trust honestly yet and this one is 9 times out of 10 spot on.
