Hi, i failed my m.o.t friday for front wheel bearings (bought new ones and fitted myself) and a loud exhaust, its the standard exhaust but its coated in shit inside the end can, and i cant get to the inside of the end can.
I dont know what to do, i got free retest on monday, but it will probally fail again, i need to make it quiter for a day.
I bought some exhaust padding thinking i can get inside the end can, so now am i going to have to buy a new one Confused

yes standard can, but its four years old so probaly full of shit, might have to go to diffrent mot centre, also, they said after my free retest, i have to pay more than £15.50 which i payed first off, they said second time is gonna be about £40?

because the price of MOT's are going up and i think its on August 1st, dont think its going up to £40 quid.

sounds like a rough M.O.T centre, try a different one

i have a standard can and mine is nearly 7 years old so i dont see how yours would fail if mine passed?

dont know, it is very loud, but its still stock.
And no its not that the price is going up, he said because it would be after a free retest, or some shit like that.
I'll have to take it their tomorrow, its free, and just see what they say, ill say ive bought a new end can but that one's loud aswell or make up something like that.

oh well cheers anyway,

Where abouts are you? if your down in somerset i know a top guy who never has any problems with mots, mine failed with its brake pads and indicators, so i told him i would get them replaced immediately, he didnt have any instock so he signed the mot and let me take it away to get new parts, ive seen him let a guy go before for having a nearly balld tyre on the back, all the guy said was i will get a new one soon, and he let him have the mot paper
