glad to hear it mate.
my warranty runs out at the end of may and i'm thinking about having the first mot done whilst still under warranty just in case. but how soon could it be done? one month before the end or maybe two weeks?

Mine is in as we speak, so waiting for the call to tell me it's failed on emissions with the 100 cell race cat!!
I'm sure rear pads will fail, but as it's on fixed price maintenance contract I'm hoping that it will fail as I only have 5 days of free cover left until I start paying my own bills
Glad to hear yours got through!

I think the maximum is 1 month before its due.
Is the MOT due on date of registration of the new car? Mine is a 57-reg but I never bought it till December and it was new. It was pre-reg and AC owned it for a week before me. So even though the 57 came out in September my car wasn't registered till December.

I think its from the initial registration date which means mines is due for MOT come the end of April even though I got my car in September.
Glad to hear that yours went through fine Al. Good luck on yours Warren!
Tad worried due to the exhaust (smoke test on the Derv) about mines but not overly so.

Warren - the lad at the MOT station I went to said a MK5 Golf GTi with a decat passed only last week, so yours will be fine I would think.
The MOT expiry date lands 1 day before the cars 3rd birthday in the middle of March so I think you can have it done a month before.

MOT is a maximum of one month before so it can be dated to run from the date of registration, my07 cupra passed on saturday with no problem with 41k on the clock now I can begin the mods!
It passed, even though the rear brakes grind and the pad material on them is thinner than a pensioners skin.
Think they've woken up to the fact that if anything is wrong with my car it doesn't get paid for directly. If I took it somewhere else I bet it would have an advisory on rear pads!!
At least they are only £150 fitted.

Rear pads can be supplied and fitted much cheaper than that Warren. Mine were down too, but I think I will get another 10k out of them.
I'm hoping to get about 10k if I stroke it about! Quote was for EBC Yellow Stuff pads fitted from RGS Motorsport in Northants
Mine sailed through yesterday, emissions perfect with the Milltek TBE, cat in place. No issues whatsoever other than tyres being a tad on the thin side
Excellent stuff. Mine's booked in for lunch-time on Monday and I doubt there will be any problems with mine.
A bit confused here, if my warrenty runs out end of March does that mean i have to get it MOT'd end of Feb?
You have to get an MOT before the registration date on the V5 form.
Mine was registered 18/12/2007....even thought the 57-reg came out in September. Not sure when my warranty is covered till. I would assume it was the 18/12/2010
Mine failed,then passed thirty seconds later after i was told remove the sat nav cradle.When the guy came out to put the car on the ramp he looked at the splitter on the front and shook his head muttering as he climbed in the car,i suppose thats why the guy didnt just remove the single rubber sucker himself and pass it first time......Proper ****** .....
Mine passed yesterday with no concerns at all. The LED side lights are back in and a treat myself to some LED no. plate bulbs and fitted them last night.
One thing they didn't pull me for was the show plates. They look just like normal plates although they don't have the BS no. or makers name on them.
