My car's away in for it's mot soon. I know that if the tyres fowl on the arches then that a fail, my car being pretty low scuffs the front wheel arches when turning. My plan is to remove the arch liners so that there is no contact what so ever, i presume this would be ok but i just want to make sure! Second option is just to raise the coilerovers a tad but the arches willl be easier.
Any thoughts?
Bribe the tester with a drink.
Id take it as it is, most garages wont charge you a second time within 7 days or under 100 miles for a retest if it does fail on that

Sounds like a master plan

Passed, never even asked about the lack of front arch liners!!
Had a feeling it would :)
How much the average mot costing people at the mo?
I just got ripped off at £42 :rolleyes:
£42 sounds about right, tho many places still knock them out at £30
Anything between £30-45 is normal.
Mine cost £38 last time round got nice pass certificate even tho it failed on something trivial :).
£20 ere - but where ever i go i also supply :p :p handy ;)
My last 2 have been 30 quid, usually know the people, but this time realised on the day mine ran out, so took my car on my lunch break to a garage and picked it up at 5 ....when u gotta go, u gotta go lol
