Nanglebadgers work in progress

[Sparky]

Everyone is fed up of their Starlets lately

Stick at it dude doesn't sound like anything major.

I remember years ago my head light wouldnt adjust all the way up (failed MOT) turns out the bulb was in the wrong way, so took it out rotated it and job's a good un, maybe something to have a look at in regards to the one headlight not adjusting.

[Nanglebadger]

om nom nom...whats that I taste??

oh, that'd be the taste of an MOT failure!!!! nice!!!! damn car!

turns out one of the wheel bearings is being a wanker for no reason as it was recently replaced. ah well, hopefully a simple fix with a spanner! gonna book the retest for ASAP before my mum kills me for taking her Alfa to work everyday lol!

the only other problem was that there is a really bad imbalance in the rear brakes which i dont understand as she has just had new brake lines and pads all round. i can only assume its the cables???? anyone know?? he managed to pass her for me on those, but the wheel was physically loose, so he had to fail her which is perfectly understandable, he didnt moan about anything else, not even the oil weep which was probably dripping on his face.

so, retest required. nice.

Ahhhh not good mate doesnt sound too major though.

As said if the wheel bearing has been recently done the chances are the lock nut has just came loose

As for the rear brakes I have no idea? :S

[Steve GT]

behave yourself project badgersport

new wheel bearing then a pass annoying but better than sheets and sheets of failures lol

[Nanglebadger]

i take it back, i just read the notice of refusal...seems my drivers headlight failed on the "break point" what ever that is.

so, hopefully tuesday nite its gonna have to go to...eeuuggghhhhh....Larne, to have that looked at, and wednesday nite Alan's seeing it for the bearing.

bearing in mind this is the first MOT since the conversion, its a good sign that the engine passed no bother!

Thats really not a bad result mate to be honest, a few annoying little problems but really not a bad effort.

Rear Brakes might just need a little tightening up mate, or has that been done recently?

[SiCaln]

hey if there weren't any minors it wouldn't be a Starlet - keep your head up bro, it'll be resolved

[ryan lang]

dont worry dude, mine failed, dam emissions!

swapped exhaust over after so im rockin a pea shooter n/a zorst for a week until my mot is done

its all good in the hood tho no need to call SAM

[Nanglebadger]

lol at Ryan.

Liam - no brakes werent tightened up this year, i'm gonna see a dude in Larne (makes me ill even typing that) about doing that, i reckon the handbrake cables need tightened, should solve it.

just thinking this morning, probably not clever to be doin 70miles for headlight alignment with the bearing hanging out, think i'll have to eave the lights til after Alan has a look at the bearing.

retest is booked for next saturday.

oh, the joys.

Phil.

[ryan lang]

yup not pleasant, but its got to be done my man :/

i wish i could have an mot on the weekend so i could get out in the car asap, because i miss it bad

gotta wait until monday to even book it in!

[Nanglebadger]

NI online bookings FTW!

Phil.

[Bluebear]

Phil, is the CD changer system working yet?

[Nanglebadger]

Jay - happy days dude! some good news at last!

Nick - no not yet man, just havnt had the time to look at it man. but we will.

Phil.

[ro55ifumi]

Stick with it Obi One and the force will be with you

[Nanglebadger]

yeah man, i aint too pissed because its two daft things that should be fairly easily sorted, nothing major was detected so pretty chuffed, obv the engine is fine.

Phil.

[Nanglebadger]

ladies and Gentlemen, we have an MOT!

yeah baby! got my car back!

big big thanks to Alan E and Joel for all their work! cheers lads!!!!

got some blue silicone bulb covers off ebay, fitted one to the illuminated ignition barrel, and gonna get the SR cluster circuit board swapped over soon to fix that up nicely.

B-Pillar bars are ready at Jays - score.

currently running OEM...yes...OEM...headlight bulbs that are truly fugly. I have decided not to waste money on HIDs again, they are too difficult to get a pattern from for MOT, so i think some nice bulbs will just do rightly, plus, uber cheaper than HIDs.

got me car back! woohoo! nice 2 weeks driving the Alfa, but lookin forward to commuting in Project BadgerSports again.

Phil.

[Sparky]

Good stuff

[Amjad]

Gotta love these cars when they work flawlessly

[LukeSR]

Glad she passed teh MOT boss

[Nanglebadger]

cheers lads!

back to baiting BMWs on the commute! f**kin full of win! proper mans sport!

Phil.

[ro55ifumi]

Sweet, happy for ya

[Liam_D]

Glad it passed mate!

Thats weird about the HIDS though mine have a beam pattern and fly through MOTs, strange.

[Dan507]

Whay, well done

didn't realise that HID's are that much of an pain in the arse.

I've bought 'Blue' bulbs which will most likely be white (which i want so, WIN). Need to install them.

[Idrees]

Great news. Also, you have a PM. I have something uber for you car, and it's something you've always wanted!
