bigglesmk2 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Becasue my nissan terrano is mounted on a separate chassis will it fail for having a hole in the sill ? Quite a big hole
4DOOR-SHERWOOD Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 just depends mate as it could fail if the hole is within 30cm of a chassis to body mounting point, suspension mout, seatbelt mount etc.. Depends on the tester too.....im a bit too leanient i think!
Fiesta Steve Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Depends on the tester too.....im a bit too leanient i think! Where do you work again ?
mk3cokebottle Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Becasue my nissan terrano is mounted on a separate chassis will it fail for having a hole in the sill ? Quite a big hole wouldnt if ya went ta my tester with £80 in the ashtray , drive in leave it there n 35 mins later voila a green one as long as its not dangerous
bigglesmk2 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Posted January 21, 2011 So im guessing a hole in sill is ok on vehicle which has a separate chassis as long as its not near an important part of the veigcle.ie. seatbelt mount ?
jambo77 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 i think it used to be the case on the old land rovers that you could cut them off and it would pass as it wasnt structural , i may be wrong but that rings a bell from some mates who were big on off roading on a budget
banarama Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 in my younger years i took my mk1 2door 1300e for mot ,sills where well rotten mot man said as long as its got a straight chassis running the lengh of the car he wont fail it ,the edge of the floor pans where rotten as well boy did it leak water .i scrapped it 8 months later
FredTransit Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 I hand crafted wheel arches from gaffer tape immediately before the test for a Mk2 SWB transit. The only thing she failed on was the handbrake cable and a side light out Got pulled 2 days after taxing it! They said it looked rough Just look it up FFS!
