MOT failure!

[B7JLS]

Was very surprised when the MOT dude said it had failed!!

BUT very stupidly, it failed on the fact my drivers seat was missing a bloody bolt! how it went missing i dont know know!!

Where do i get one?? will post in the wanted section too....

thanks

Jack.

Where can you get a bolt?

Might help to know which bolt mate,

 

[Beef-Mc]

You failed on a single missing bolt?

breakers yard

Didn't know MOT'ers look at the drivers seat? :S

 

[chrispy.clio]

Renault?

it needs to be secure, although a good spot on the tester's part if he's noticed a missing bolt

I guess, but wouldn't expect a bolt missing from a seat, so yea, a good spot by the MOT'er!

 

[Craigus]

Would rather have a shite MOT'er and have passed TBH!

Would rather have a s**te MOT'er and have passed TBH!

so you rather have a dodgy passed MOT car??

Also i did say the my drivers seat was missing a bolt...

from the runner i think...

Hardly dodgey, just a bolt?

oh yeh 'just' a bolt

Dude that bolt is for our safety, giving the fact that the clio is the most safe car on the market, its nice to know that the 1 of 4 bolts holding my seat down is missing so i can replace it.

 

[Hazza]

TBH... he could be a life saver. what if the seat was not secure, the seat slides back and therefore making u not be able to reach the pedals and maybe the steering wheel.

Then.... enough said.

 

[bedford8256]

why would you rather have a dodgy mot'er just so he didnt realise u had a bolt missing, how many things would a dodgy mot'er not pick up on. id rather know im driving around safe in my car than thinking its been passed by some dodgy backroad mot bay!

 

[Spongebob 172]

One of the first things i look for when i start my mot tests is to look at the seat bolts,you would be surprised at how many i find missing

 

[cat171]

oh yeh 'just' a bolt

Exactly. Imo the tester did right.

 

[Kerryclio]

I don't think my MOT person would have noticed LOL

 

[B7JLS]

Me too and I own the car!!

But I need your help!

It's on the runners, where the bolt is missing there's a rubber cap on top, so I can't see anything.

Does anyone know about this? Is it just a bolt I need?

 

[Henry]

is the passenger seat not the same?

i'd take a bolt off the passenger seat, make sure it fits the driver's, and take that bolt with me to a scrap yard to be sure i got the same from another Clio. they're probably the same across the range, so model might not matter

 

[B7JLS]

Cool, but what I mean is I can't see a bolt head, just a rubber bung type seal...

 

[Henry]

this isn't something i've fiddled with on mine, but just been to have a look at it, out of interest

it looks as though the bolts are captive and that you pull the rubber plugs out of the floor (underneath the car) to get at the nuts. i'm assuming. is that not what yours looks like?

 

[B7JLS]

Thanks mate sorted now!!

Passed and signed off now!!
