hi

is the engine using oil or is the smoke coming from the exhaust

from when the head gasket was gone,

it does take a little while to clear old oil/water from

the exhaust after any kind of head job

with regard to the mot tester getting it wrong,

if the wear in the ball joints was bad it can sometimes give

the impression that some of the wear is in the rack.

when testing a steering rack a small amount of play is not an mot fail

as an mot examiner ( 20+ years and a mechanic 30+ years )

if anyone has any questions regarding the mot test

i would be happy to try and answer them as per the mot bible.

andy

hi all

as per the tread about cheap source of recon steering racks,

i am an mot inspector i have use bristol power steering i have

found the results from them are as good as new.

when a power steering rack is checked for wear in must be done

with both front wheels raised clear of the ground and with the engine

running, hold the wheel at 3 and 9 and rock the wheel any play will be evident.

while u are there if you hold the wheel at 11 and 5 you can check the ball joint.

i hope this is of some help to everyone. remember a small amount os play in the steering rack is not a reason for failer on an mot or anything to worry about.
