Mitsubishi L200 - mot fob off - eve27

i took my l200 in for its mot, it failed on brake and fuel pipes so i let the mot place repair them, they also put new drive belts on for me and a new feul filter, as i drove it out and i was struggling to get it in to gear, it didnt have this problem before it went in!! one man said it was to do with the 4 wheel drive the other said that the clutch fluid needed bleeding as this is conected to the brakes??? i think they have cocked up somewhere and im being fobbed off, can anyone help please

Brake and fuel pipes on a 3 year old Mitsi L200!!, what have you been doing with it, they shouldn't need replacing for many years unless you've damaged them off road.

If you haven't got an indy that you trust, and from the sounds of it you haven't or you wouldn't be letting the MOT centre do it, then it might be prudent to let Mitsi have a look and see what they've been playing at, your own and everyone safety here.

Who said what about 4 wheel drive and or clutch fluid, was this the MOT tester, mechanic, receptionist or a passer by.

I'm sorry but I have to agree with Gordon bennet ! I cannot recall ever failing a 3 year old car on fuel or brake pipes, most brake pipes are coated now with a plastic for extra protection. Brake pipes are thick and slight surface corrsion is acceptable. Most fuel lines now are aluminum rather than steel for lightness so why they have corroded to an extent where they are a failure make my mind boggle. Unless you use the vehicle in a toxic enviroment or drive up and down horse or cow track and have coated the underside in unpleasantries I too would consider changing the garage. I think may be a word in their ear first.Unfortunaltey you can't appeal if the work has already been done. Did you ask for the old pipes ? Most clutch system's are linked to the brake resvouir so if the fluid was drained the clutch hydraulics may of suffered, but they should of checked it and bleed at the same time! very poor quality control and customer service.

The post doesn't say what age the car is or whether it is the first MOT
