Failed MOT Cos They Couldn't Open Boot

[BlueFish]

Hi Guys

Got my Chim and it failed its MOT today on the following:

They could not open the boot...LOL easy fix just need to show them the button.

Headlight alignment, I assume the adjustment is accessed via the panels in the front of the wheel arches, can anyone confirm this for me?

Steering rack gaiters split, are these proprietary from another vehicle, Sierra or something? I have it booked in for work on Friday so I can it it sorted for Chatsworth and need to get the gaiters urgently.

Any help appreciated, I am desperate to get on the road and to meet some of you guys at Chatsworth on Sunday!

Thanks in advance.

Hi headlight alignment can be done through the access hatches in wheel arch, but it depends if teh screws are rusted up or not, they are wing nuts and springs within the archbut the screw head is outside behind the headlight trim and sikaflex seal. Mine were so rusted solid that I had to replace them, so its not a 5 minute job.

If its just height that need adjusting and only slightly out, then temporarily try adjusting the tyre pressures slightly to see if you can get them aligned correct, at least it will get you running for Chatsworth and you can look for pemananet solution later.

Mine is a 96 so no access panel ..You need child labour to do the job!

Steering rack gaiters are ford. Escort or sierra I seem to remember. Had mine changed last year.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the info, I will try and order the gaiters from Trev tomorrow and hopefully get them for Friday morning in time for the garage to fit them and re-test.

On the light front I will try and remove the covers tomorrow night to give the garage easy access and then refit them myself.

Fingers crossed the Yellow Peril will be fit for Chatsworth.

Are any of you guys going maybe we could meet up?

I am based just outside Grimsby, are any of you guys north of Chatsworth?

Hi Guys

Thanks for all the input and comments, Trevor has some en route for 9 am delivery so all being well and no more hiccups I should be at Chatsworth on Sunday, so maybe catch up with some of you guys.

Can bring my niece if you need your headlights adjusting Kid

All done MOT'edfor 12 months, just got back from a fantastic 45 min blast thru the Lincolnshire wolds, scared myself silly but couldn't stop smiling.

The yellow Peril was awesome and didnt miss a beat.
