   Hi
   In my MOT I got an advisory for the following....
   strut top bar fitted - panhard rod attachment bracket repaired but not inappropriately
   
   I know that I have fitted an OMP upper brace
   but what is the panhard rod attachment bracket?
   i cant see anything that has been repaired :/
   
   help help help
   
   Thanks

   well iirc correctly panhard rods are almost always something to do with axles, so youve either got the wrong end of the stick or its wrong, as in you may think its your OMP but in fact its something other

   Strange that it says strut top bar fitted before it then
   Thus indicating that it is the front of the vehicle...

   The advice just didn't link to the problem
   First telling me it didn't matter, then that you didn't know

    well considering no one else has replied to this post perhaps the logical thing to do is ask the cunt, or type it in on google

    Why would it reference the strut top bar then? That's what is throwing me!

    perhaps hes got it wrong, because it clearly makes no sense when it says strut bar, im not saying your wrong, but either the guy is wrong or hes written it down incorrectly.

    i reckon they are on about the strut brace as looking on google a panhard rod looks to be some adjustable rod on the rear axle and i'm pretty sure a saxo doesn't have one.

    This turns out to be
    'having a strut brace fitted' - " don't worry about it"
