 MOT Time: What can I do to help get her through? SHE PASSED! As above really, grease king pins, take boot box off (it obscures rear number plate) bit of a clean..... what else? Oh and is she likely to fail on: The front fog lights STILL not being wired up the floor at the forward edge of the passenger footwell being a little crunchy. Cheers for any tips  UPDATE: Cheers for the tips guys, she passed so tis all good

Re: MOT Time: What can I do to help get her through? Front fogs dont matter... they wont even check them as not required, dont even think you need a spare wheel?! (might be wrong but the Fuzz dont carry them)
I never do anything really, dont even grease the pins. Quick check everything works or is tight before test then drop it in before work and collect with certificate after.

Quote: The front fog lights STILL not being wired up Nope, never testable. (Nor spare, Timmy) Quote: the floor at the forward edge of the passenger footwell being a little crunchy. Could easily be a problem, depending on how "crunchy". Full tester's manual - http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/htdocs/m3i00000101.htmIf it ain't in there as a "reason for rejection", they can't fail it on it.

Re: MOT Time: What can I do to help get her through? I've heard there is a "section" in the MOT manual, that is specifically aimed at the 2cv (identification of chassis rot)

Im sure neil will tell you about my steering rack... and apparently kingpins on 2cvs always have a lot of movement in them.
