new mot rules

[postie]

i have just read honest john web site about the new mot rules
example   hids fitted to cars must have self leveling and washers if not fail
wrong colour bulbs fail
warning lights on dash if lit fail
and soon on i did not see any age related stuff so maybe alright if you have a older car
i think there are going to be a lot of us changing things on our cars before we have a mot
of course it could be wrong and ihave not read it right.

Interesting to see some of the items that they will now be testing.

I think essentially "if its fitted, it must work correctly" is the way its going.

Thank goodness they are tightening up on HID's and headlight adjustment - tired of being blinded.

yes i failed on a ABS light on...although this makes no sense as the brakes just work as if the ABS is disabled..which means it passed the brake test but failed just because the light was on...

Seriously everybody..they are really getting too strict...

well well well...we used my friend's vagcom and the light went out...

great the MOT place could not have cleared all the faults beforehand...(wish I had done so!!)

you have been warned..

so a safety system in your case ABS had a fault and was not working, i aint surprised it failed. (by the way ABS light has been a failure for a long time)

and then you expect the MOT tester to clear your fault codes for you? think your taking the piss. easiest thing to do is keep your car maintained and it should be fine.

if your car has ABS it dosent have a load compensator valve on the rear wheels  as that function is done by the abs

so if you brakeing heavly in low grip conditions  the back end can easly  lock up before the frount end,  with meany people this often leads to a short off road experiance
