MOT Failure

Post by skelters » Thu Mar 06, 2008 9:49 pm

Took the car for an MOT today.

2 x rear springs busted..
1 xx rear tyre - tear in tyre.

Springs being replaced tomorrow hopefully.

New tyre is a problem as I have been told the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 tyres are as hard to come by as Hen's teeth. They are being phased out.

Was told to look at Goodyear Eagle Asymetric tyres.

Skelters,

I see you've had no replies - but then you're not really asking anything :P Bad news about the MOT - seems the springs are a common problem :cry:

Stange that mine failed on the same thing - have you seen the damage?

Mine has a crack running round 80% of the RIM - waiting to hear from Goodyear but will be pushing for a free replacement.
