I had the Kappa SW MOT done but it did not pass. There were a few minor remarks which I need to sort out:
- All brake callipers need to be freed up. Clearly a result of not driving it over the past 2 or 3 years. So I likely need to remove them all and clean up.
- One brakehose-piping having a small spot of corrossion - rear left side.
- Both stabilizor links backside poor.
So I figured to tackle the simplest job first and ordered a pair of new stabilizor links. Including shipping costs this costed only € 25,-
And of course it turned out to be a dramatic job as the bolts wouldn't come off easily, despite using a air hammer and various other brute force methods. So I ended up using the grinder to get it removed. The other side was of course similar.
But hey, presto:I also quickly inspected the brakes and the discs and the pads looks very good. So only the calipers needs to get a good cleaning. Coming week it's going to be rainy and I'm off two days so I think I know what I will be doing.
