MOT tester v Underseal - dodgy turbo's....

---

Hello all.

Took my motor for an MOT Friday. Against my better judgement I opted for a garage MOT and not the usual MOT only gaff due to lack of ££ and the lure of a cheap test.

To cut a long one short, he refused to test it because I'd rust treated and under-sealed all 4 wheel arches and around the jacking points because some cretin had jacked the motor on the floor pan and it had started to rust quite badly. Reason was because he couldn't see the quality of welding even though no welding had been done. He could test it if I washed all the under-seal off..!

He then went on to describe in some detail how badly the MG turbo's suffers from ?turbo over-spin? which quite frankly scared the **** out of me and suggested I either have the unit refurb or have a refurb fitted AND start having the oil changed every 2,500 miles to avoid any turbo issue in the future.

WTF now? Anxiety creeping in and I'm starting to spinning out a bit. The other half went skyward, 2 kids, summer hols, no car.

Beam me up Scotty
