General MOT results

[zulu705]

Sisley went for MOT today. Fails are

1. Exhaust - need to replace two sections
2. Headlights still to high !
3. Rear brake sticking
4. Rust on passenger door needs fixed.

Not any suprises really. Not got bill yet though!

Exhaust needing two sections is all of it... around £80 to £90 fitted, headlamps shouldnt cost more than £10 to adjust, rear brake sticking could be a wheel cylinder so budget around £6 for the part and an hours labour, as for rust, well I expect theyll just fill it rather than weld. If you get a bill over £250 inc. MOT fee then youre being taken for a ride.

I knew it needed an exhaust and got a quote from National for £193! That was last summer when I had just got it. I didn't replace the exhaust then as I thought that was just a bit too expensive!

Got sisley back. Am happy with results. Cost a bit less than nuovapanda's estimate and the shiney exhaust looks nice. The fibre glass on the door doesn't look too bad and will look fine once I sand and paint it.

thats good news then, youve got another years fun:0 what make of exhaust did they put on? you ant to see the word Bosal, they are the better ones.

 

[zulu705]

Not sure of make. The sticker is stil on it though so will have another look.

The bosal backbox on mine has bosal stamped in the metal in big big letters. As long as it looks like the original then i'm sure its fine

 

[zulu705]

Don't think its bosal it says FT234 on the sticker and thats enough for me as thats the correct part number.

I just bought the rear box for my 750 for £29 from PartCo, then fitted myself.
