fixing the mot failures
Published by Chris H
19th October 2006
Introduction
CoupeDave took his car for an MOT and it failed - badly.

He done the front brakes himself but he wanrted me to sort the rest of the problems.

These were handbrake cable, rear pads, cambelt and MOT.

The car was dropped off to me and Dave got the train home to sunny Fife (about 60 miles away).

Heres some pictures of the car









So straight away there was a problem, the throttle pedal was heavy I had an idea what it would be and I was right, the cables roller was rusted solid



Sods law the thing broke!





I had another one and it was free, some copper grease on it made sure it would remain free





Right away the accel pedal felt a lot better as expected.

Whilst having the initial nose around I spotted this, how it happened I have no idea.
