MOT testing to meet tougher standards

[JC]

The new checks will also ensure the new generation powerful headlights do not dazzle oncoming motorists.

LIKE!

All the culprits are over in the mk6 section... too tight to spec xenons, now they all want cheap chinese copies 

nice ground bait, hooked heavily loaded

I have specced the Xenons on my Scirocco

So MOT's every 2 years instead of one as of Feb 2012?

I think I saw some where that you have to have a cat and that HID (without projectors/levelling/washers) will fail...

I thought that lot was in the test already. This shouldn't worry anyone but idiots driving dangerous cars

I don't like cats more of a dog man

Not sure about the cat but yes the projectors will need auto levelling & washer jets

[houston]

most cars will fail emissions test if they dont have a cat anyway.

and i read on another forum that eml light lit is a fail, ok for early mk4 owners, no eml light

oe spec projectors will be fine, self levelling so they dont dazzle, think its aimed at people who fit them in standard headlights, to$$ers

So thats more people driving about with worn/bald tyres, no brakes, and shoddy suspension then...


Yeahhhh that makes sense....

I was thinking for a DERV. I am wanting a to get a decat dp but do not want to do it if I will fail an MOT!?

Bye bye HIDs 

No washers or self leveling adjusters = fail

I was walking down the road when a corsa came past me. Obviously had some dodgy HIDS as i had to stop cuz i couldn't fcuking see! 

If it happens when i am driving, i know where it parks. So i will leave a lovely note saying they need to 'remove them or i'll smash their headlights!'  Never realised how bad they were till then!
