    Default Did they say what you needed to fix to pass?

    Motor mount for sure, idler arm? Surely not the pan gasket! I know Dave...he's cautious but not that silly.

    Look at your hoses - if they have bulged ends, then I'd order new ones. Otherwise, I suspect just refitting them and getting the clamp tensions right should be sufficient.

    They did a good job, just to good. Would be great for a PPI.

    I will order motor mounts and idler arm tomorrow
    Should I order hoses? I don't know if you guys remember their condition?

    I think i fixed the brake line, just tightned a bit, cleaned the surface then pumped the brakes, looks ok. Going on a test drive now.

    Ha! how did you know it was Dave!

    Failed:
    Engine mounts solid- oil saturated
    Hoses secure and flexible, no cracks/rubbing- brake hose (think it is fixed now)
    Fluid levels ok, no leaks- brake hose leak, engine oil leak, coolant hoses
    Wheel bearings, ball joints tight- idler arm has play, possibly center link.
