Re: MOT

Pretty sure it would Dave. If something is fitted it has to work, i know you fail them if they are seized up and you can't blank them off as a fix. Depends how friendly you are with the tester. 8)

Re: gearbox or back axle

It is apparently a fault in the box, my auto Dolly doesn't but my 2.5S does :roll: Both drive perfectly and the S has been doing it for 8 plus years.

Re: Head Gasket Sealant - Y/N?


I've never used sealant on a head gasket in over 40 years (and never will) and I've never come across anyone that does. If the block and/or the head is not flat or are pitted badly then they need to be machined flat or replaced.
