The MOT thread

As it stands there are no seats with airbags, no passenger airbag, no drivers airbag, no drivers seatbelt, just the passenger seatbelt assembly left in place, which will be removed at some point. So it does beg the question if the system were removed would it be immune from the MOT test?

Currently I have fitted resistors to fool the system.

In that case I would defiantly disconnect the ECU and remove the bulb.

Ready for mot

That looks superb Pete.

On another note I have fixed the SRS light issue, it was a poor connection on the drivers airbag, cut off the socket, soldered resistor and all's good. MOT Weds hopefully.

Mine is now in for a retest tomorrow morning, there's a first!

Good luck, all should be well

It scored a fail, nothing serious, an incorrectly assembled front arb link, my fault for using the wrong size washers when I fitted poly bushes, and a leaking exhaust, which he didn't have problem with but it was screwing with the emissions, so I've spent an hour or so in the sunshine fixing it so I can drop by tomorrow and he'll recheck the emissions and arb link.
On the plus side it was only 30 quid, and I got to have a Bacon and egg roll in my favourite greasy spoon.

Mine failed this afternoon :-(

The CV boot is split in half and a cracked spring. Sigh. Getting old.
