MOT throw of the dice - fail

2 weeks left on the MOT and I decided to test it early to see what's what but it failed on a rear upper outer suspension bushing which they can't get out as the bolt is seized which will need cutting out and they can't get one from the dealer until Monday so that's my weekend plans cancelled as it's classed as a major defect and the car no longer has a valid MOT....
The only advisories were slight play in one of the front suspension arm ball joints and in a rear ARB droplink so all in all it's not such a bad result if I have to extend my holiday past the weekend..... 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Just be careful with the new bolt, last time I bought one from the dealer I got this....

new, old, sheered...




Far too short and it was the correct one according to the dealer... Pete

There are two of those bolts at the rear.

One of them is for the upper hub bush, the other is for the toe control arm. They are different lengths (only slightly) and have different part numbers.

Looks like you were given the wrong one.
