For the first time ever my grey LE has failed its MOT Offside front brake pipe corroded. The garage then went on to say they didn't want to replace it as it looks a bitch of a job that will take hours! So now I have a coupe with no tax or MOT that's going into storage this month! Brilliant!

If it's the one that goes across the bulkhead, it is a bitch of a job and takes about an hour and a half on a 16VT. That was by someone who knew what they were doing, not me.
16VT and X1/9 1500
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

See if you can borrow trade plates and take it some where to get the pipe changed.
There not hard to do at all.
The MOT station are just being stupid.

MOT passed, £190 to replace the pipe and do the MOT so not too bad really. Nothing else in the advisory box so she's good for another year. Oh and brake readings, an area that coupes seem to struggle on;
Front L-367kgf Front R-364kgf
Rear L-137kgf Rear R-141kgf
70% efficiency (50% required for pass)
Handbrake
Left- 150kgf Right- 143kgf
20% efficiency (16% required for pass)
That's on cold pads, they get better after an Italian tune up!
