jamesmark Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Couldnt they pass you providing you came back in a week and got it fixed Failing you for that is dumb my better half's father failed his MOT on his omega for a wiper blade on the passenger side, and he was told i will fail you unless you buy the wiper from me for £5 as my father in law said i have a replacement at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Thats bs, mine passed providing I got the blades replaced, which I did, but your guy sounds a bit anal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun. Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 Ah .. sorry 'twas a little naughty of me to say "fail" ... technically it failed but they allowed me to drive off to Halfrauds to get a new one, then fit it before writting out the certificate. A result and a top garage ... btw, the MOT tester is a Woman which makes a nice change in such a male dominated profession. Shaun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 ^ Thats ok then Providing you can come back in a limited time and show you've fixed what the problem was I cant see there being any issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldy Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 . AND she's fully decatted - just scrapped through on emissions, not bad I thought i thought the cats were part of the emissions test? are they not really required for the mot? my mot is due and been trying to find someone to pass it without the cats i cant be bothered to put them back on for half a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 any of you guys know which sidelight i get from halfrauds for a side light? by the way my indicator lense is cracked but not broken do you think thats a fail? if you mean the ones for headlights;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 will try the w5w ones mentioned earlier its not the ones for the headlights its the little side lights that look like erect nipples lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun. Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 . i thought the cats were part of the emissions test? are they not really required for the mot? They don't do a physical check to see if you have them, it's tested but a sensor up the exhaust and checked against the legal limit on emmisions for a car that *should* have the cats in. Some on here, me included, seem to get away with the test being *just* within the limits without fitting any cats Shaun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
