MOT Failure
My car has failed its MOT for two things
1) Rear exhaust has a mounting bracket that does not fully supply the exhaust system. £90 :smt107 2) Lower power steering pipe/hose is leaking £280:smt119 I had my car serviced a couple of months ago, a full service. Surely, these problems should have been picked up at the time ? And, Last year my car failed its MOT because of the rear exhaust. So I had it replaced for just shy of £350, so if the mounting bracket is not efficient, surely its their fault since they supplied and fitted the exhaust system?:confused: My poor Jynx is a failure. Twice.:smt010 |

Most Exhausts carry a 12 month warranty, and some, like Kwik Fit, carry a 2 year warranty, so get it back to who fitted it sharp. |

There was an item on Watchdog this week about Mini power steering failures, might be worth a look on their website to see if BMW are doing anything on this issue, like reduced rates to have rectified or even a recall? On a lighter note, it is good that it was found because apparently the Mini is almost impossible to steer without power steering. You need to be built like a powerlifter to turn the wheel without it. |

Re: MOT Failure
as already said exhaust should last longer than a year for sure, power steering pipes can be expenssive it depends on what needs to be removed to fit it (sometimes alot) can be very time consuming/labour intensive, id definately get that exhaust sorted under warranty and get a second opinion on the power steering leak.
