Well what would you know...The car was put through the test once again and they passed it, given the known faults.
I was shocked when the vosa inspector said and his own words "yes there is a clicking sound coming from the gaitor, however I am not sure this is a failure. I also can't find any play in the ball joint. Don't think your car has one and to be honest I am not familiar with your particular model"
This was a joke to say the least and am not the type to feel conspired against but I arrived 10 mins late at the mot station and the vosa inspectors and station owner were all having a jolly chin wag.
I am stumped as to what to do now... (yes I know get it fixed)
Cheers
