Took my car in for it's annual roadworthy check in the UK (MOT test). As you would expect being a Fiat it flew though the test apart from two items which I would not have guessed at.
Normally it's a blown bulb or brakes or emmisions or tires that it is likely to fail on. Bulbs I'd check, brakes I'd checked. Emmissions I hope for the best!
The failures were...
One was a missing manifold bolt (oops but fair enough!), the other was driveshaft bolts which apparently were loose. I would not have guessed it would fail on this in a million years. I think I never used a torque wrench when tightening the bolts!
Now going to have to pay for my slackness...
