MOT question.
MOT question.
Dear Honest John. One of my bangers has a thin rust crack in the rear silencer that has been there for a number of years but it seems to keep getting through the MOT, although its had a warning or two. I would like to put a jubilee clip wrap-around patch on it but I fear that if I do this, the MOT tester will fail the car. Am I right or wrong!?

Re: MOT question.
Shouldnt be an issue unless the emmisions are way out ... but if anything a 'leak' will mean less CO's should get to the test equipment
My GLT has the cheapest shittiest centre section, it makes a right racket and has been plastered in tape and sealer .... it was mentioned in the advisories but not a fail..... it failed on rust and light issues
Bodge it up Bog and crack on

Re: MOT question.
AFAIK all that matters is leaks under the car. Any way of sealing it is fine.

Re: MOT question.
Whack some exhaust paste or the tape that looks like thick tin foil on it and job's a good un.
