due to 'been the lowest car he has ever had to MOT'
got a re test for free and it passed once it was lifted aboout 3 miles.
i can honestly feel the difference in having it high again, hate it
anyone else had any problems like that?
also someone out bid me on my new wheels on ebay

MOT testers make a personal decision about it I feel.
I have seen sump grinding cars passing before and 40mm cars fail.
You might get lucky

they just couldn't get it up the ramp into the testing bay, so therefore a fail as it couldn't be checked lol.
i'll take a pic tomor of what they have done to it. ( made it higher than standard on front and about -30mm on back - some major rear rake lol)
