Ohh yeah, but doesn't they fudge up the handling? Or not really make a difference.

Standard?, now why would I do that? :sly

 

[makeitfit]

My fault I didnt realise Milners did +2" shocks that's all :augie

 

[96terrano]

They don't, the +2inch are from eBay

Ah your post made me think they too were from Milners.
Poor clarity boy :lol
You may need spring keeprs(zip ties ) if you're keeping the std springs on and taking off the rear arb.

 

[96terrano]

Ok, would the truck not have it's arse in the air if longer?

 

[makeitfit]

No the height is governed by the coil size, not the shocker :thumb2 but you've ordered them now anyway ?

 

[96terrano]

Yeah, though it were the coild thes did that but wasn't 100% sure, ok though

It says on the MOT if the vehicle is left at the testing station for repair and it is done within 10 days there is no retest fee.

This is known as a Partial Re-Examination or Partial Retest, if you remove the vehicle then its a full "Paid" retest.

However, if you return the next day (Within 24 hours) with certain areas then it could also be free.

 

[Kamsin]

it has to be its vosa who set standards not the garage themselves same as they cannot charge for a retest within the 10 day period, nor can they hit you with "but you too it off the property" its still free retest :thumbs

See above.

 

[cncfabs]

See above.

Re test fees are down to garage if you remove ie they dont get the work.The one i use charges £35.50 for the test and doesnt charge for re test.I never bother to check anything prior to mot they just give me a list of jobs to do it take it back and doesnt cost a penny

 

[Fez_uk]

my garage lets me take it away for 14 days and get a free retest on the failed items.

If it goes over 10 days it will still have to have a full re-test (Well it will have to be logged onto the system as having the full retest) because the computer wont let it have a part test after that time period, i know this cos mine just did it when it went for retest. they had to do the full test again. (Or have it logged on as such) He just retested the bits i needed doing and went for a coffee for the remaining 45 minutes

If the garage let you off the bill for it, you found a good one. I use a "well known high street service centre" as my mate is the manager and i get his discount.

But the legal side of it says they can charge you if its removed from the garage.
