I was told by VOSA that 1 in 100 road deaths are caused by component failure and 2 in 100 by incorrect fitting of replacement parts. It was to illustrate how important MOT re- tests are and that a very good look should be done. The above photo high-lights this very well - who on earth would not see the danger in that? There is no way anyone with that basic lack of engineering common-sense should be allowed near spanners.
Going to double check mine today - although i very much doubt the guys at malvern would be responsible for such shoddy assembly.
