    MOT

    The cars ready, lovingly prepared, brakes checked, no obvious defaults, lights checked. MOT time, yippee. The time? 2PM. The day? Wednesday 8th. The trailers ready to receive the beast.

    Into the garage, she starts, god she sounds great even for a Buick POS. but wait!!!! no pressure in the clutch pedal. No gear. I jump out and find a pool of oil under the car running from the clutch hose. The metal braiding has shorted out on the starter motor, causing a hole in the hose. What a time to do it "AGGGGHHHHHH"

    Ok 2 hours to MOT time. Dash to Hose company replacement hose and bleeding later still no pressure. Upshot is either the seals in the Master or slave cylinder have gone, so new seals on order. Still No MOT. Damn these triumph stags, Not!!. I still love the ruddy thing, just another spat in the relationship of the stag verses bloody idiot.

    Hi Mick

    I trust you get it all sorted out quickly

    As a point of interest why were you going to trailer it to the MOT test station? Its legal to drive a car on the public highway without a valid MOT provided you are on route to an appointment at a testing station for an MOT.

    Cheers

      Bruce,

      I like to thrash my motors before an MOT anyway to clear their lungs out and test the brakes 1st, so as you state I can drive it to the test station, but!!!!

      1). As just shown you cant prove your reliability till its proved and mine is as yet an unproved new high performance buick EFI POS. lots of mods. etc etc, I just want it to be reliable enough to go thro' its MOT, then I can tune it properly and iron out all the problems on the open road. and,
      2) need to get home, cant watch and wait. its several miles to walk home.

      Bruce, Thanks for the reply,


      mick

          POS "Piece of Shi*" Google "Urban Dictionary" its there after police.


          Its a piece of floccinaucinihilipilification on behalf of the anally retentive amongst us.

              The seals arrived yesterday tried to fit them but were too big. I quick ring to James Paddock this morning revealed the seals were correct for a triumph stag master cylinder, however my master cylinder is apparently from a triumph 2500. Just cant stop splitting my sides with laughter when I heard that. So Mike no MOT booked yet, and away working next week then on holiday so don't know when It'll take place.
