ZS in shock MOT fail ....
 
Needs the headlight adjusting - new R45 ones sitting there - a tyre, and a MOT area this year - the seat has to be able to move as intended.

P1ssed me off a little as it can be moved by using the bar underneath, but apparently it needs to move on the lever at the side.

Hmph ....


So - one new tyre needed - (2 more had advisories) - R45 lights to fit - and a replacement driver's seat might just be the easiest way to deal with the seat issue......

Is the seat adjustment just a broken cable or bent rod? Should be an easy fix Dan with the seat out.

if you fix the other items they may do the h/lamp allignment f.o.c., likely 45 will need adjusted too, will take 2 mins tops for them to do it, just an adjustment screw

Not too bad a hit Dan.

Guess who was asked to go with a daughter to choose a new Clio Initial???

She likes the seat high, anyway after touring around South London one Sunday Morning, saw a few cars, bought one, all the others she tried. This one, she didnt, I picked it up, drove it down here, she jumped in and tried to raise the seat.


Nooooo seat didnt move, into main dealer, thought £40 or £50, new spring or whatever.

£942 for a new seat, didnt do separate adjuster, got it welded up...................

It wasn't the beam direction being wrong or they would have - it was that it simply wasn't directed at all and he said a fault with the bulb or headlight itself .... ?

And welding is the issue - it has to be able to move or it will fail..... mine isn't welded - just broken. Your daughters will now fail though ....

incorrect beam pattern is likely a bulb sitting upside down in the holder:)

We took it back to the garage that did the work.

Your welcome to the Drivers seat in this saloon if that helps? the bolster is a bit fekked... but mechanically it all works fine :)

Either swap over the covers... or just take the bits you need from this seat?

BTW, did the fog light arrive?
