Also. He said I need to eliminate this play from the front wheel. Can I just put the spare on and take it back for retest or will he fail the play in the spare!
nah sweet as just put some sticky tape in there it will space it.

If you believe he is making it up just to get work then you can pay someone else to do another WOF inspection and see what they say.

Yep classic loose wheel nuts. That sound would appear to be the brake rotor floating around because of loose wheel nuts

Ok that might be the go do it properly with sticky tape round the bearing surface you think! That might just work because my mates, flat mates, cousins, friends, cell mate packed out his crank shells with cigarette papers and that lasted for 12 years before it knocked on start-up.

Well I think he is justified making a fuss, the is downright dangerous, good on him!, you must have felt something a miss when driving!. I suggest you take better care of your car, this could have dire consequence for other road users.

Well as I said its the wife's car so with her constant whinging I can't hope to hear it. The car goes, fine i just cant see why he failed it, its not like he could pull the wheel off or anything (and he had a good try). 'Excessive play' he called it. He also recons the snapped bonnet release cable was a 'reason for rejection' they just make it up as they go along to get work I tell you!

could it be a wheel bearing, and you need to lift the bonnet to check for any corrosion around fire wall and suspension mounts, but dont fix it wait till you kill some one

Did you take hub cap off to check he didn't purposely losen the wheel nuts n put the hub cap back on! Especially if it's not vtnz.

Depending what "play"meant to him would clarify things.Otherwise a new bearing should improve things,&take it to a garage next time.
