My Dad had the 1980 Mini 1000 in for it's NCT yesterday (the blue one above)
First of all they called him in to open the bonnet because they couldn't figure out how to do it.
A while later they had it up on the lift with 5 of the inspectors inspecting the underside with torches.
In the end they failed it on:
1. They couldn't open the petrol cap to check the seal and wouldn't let him open it to show it was ok
2. The indicators flashed too slowly
3. Play in the steering column - up and down play when holding the steering wheel
1. Is easily sorted
2. He is going to swap the flasher unit tomorrow (we don't remember it ever being changed since I bought the car)
3. Not too sure about this one. Is this a case of tightening up the pinch bolt at the bottom of the column or are we looking at renewing bushes in the column, or something else?
