mr v6 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Had my Z booked in at my usual garage today for the MOT. He failed it on 'rear subframe rotten', words to that effect on the failure certificate. Needless to say I was very cheesed off was an understatement. I went home & started Googling it only to find they're aluminium.. So I went back & asked if he'd put it back on the lift as aluminium doesn't rot away, also so I can take a few photos. He had another look with his boss & admitted he was wrong. It appears, or at least I think, it's the kidney brackets towards the rear of the subframe. Something that I'll look at getting sorted at some point. His boss went off & came back with a new, valid pass certificate with the front tyres as advisories. It's something I'll need to get sorted as there were a few small crusty bits coming off them as he tapped away with his little hammer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
