) I had an advisory that my front tyres had just 4mm of tread remaining (been tow-out in the past so just on the inside shoulder)

'Handbrake cables to rear axle missing' was a good one.

We've had a few commenting that the clutch pedal rubber is worn on the farm pickup.
Our lifting equipment gets inspected every 6 months and we regularly have a faulty horn as an advisory on one of the telehandlers. |

The young apprentice at the Independent were mine is tested came up to me a couple of years ago to tell me the same, my reply was that I had removed it like all other land rover owners as it was a redundant part. His face was a picture. Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

The army carry out an MEI (military equivalent of MOT) on their fleet, I had these failures on some of the land rovers I was ment to repair:
Front tow pin missing - fail (this item is only issued when the vehicle is signed for) Land Rover badge on rear missing - fail Park brake light inop -fail (I challenge anyone to find a switch and cable on a Wolf for the trans brake) Seat ripped - fail Then I managed to find things like loose drop arms, crank bolt in by two threads, bearings that had more play than a plaything playing at play time. I do somethings worry about some inspectors in the army. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html 90 V8 - Maggie http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic42564.html 110 TD5 - Buggsy http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic59029.html 52HG25 lightweight https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72342.html D3 Hse - Fiona Capri 2l S - Anna Think I might have a problem............ |

I've had them tell me the (double sided) wheeinuts on the S1 were all the wrong way round. I asked them to swap them back - at least they only did one!

I had rear seats insecure (they were folded forwards).
Rear seat belts not fitted (under a jacket) The same MoT missed the broken UJ mind... Used the same chain but a different location for the FF and the only comment was nice to see one of these being used properly, oh and I'm sure you know but you use the brakes quite heavily...
