mine passed with no advisorys last week, even with the hid lights and semi illegal plates (lettering is not as big as it should be, but only very slightly)

i was well please with the old girl, cant argue with that for a 1993 car

sure a driveshaft leak is a fail, if so nice one matey  :grin: :laugh: :cool:

Well done mate, always feels good when you get a full 12 month ticket.

no what he meant was the actual bulb wasnt orange. if it shows white light then its illeagal. an indicator bulb has to be orange and produce an orange light

Had mine 2 and half years, been through 3 MOTS while I've had it, and sailed through with no advisorys every time  :smiley: Never missed a beat since I've owned her.. only had to replace disks/pads as you do.. do cambelt, and recently two calipers to front as they were both beginning to show signs of seizing. Over than that, perfect, can't fault it.

mine would've sailed through last year if I didn't have to change a number plate bulb only to find I couldn't get the effin screw out of the little protection plate.. ended up costing me half hour's labour as it really was a bugger  :sad: other than that nothing.. hoping to get the same this august, bet i wont though!
