New MOT Additions (ATTENTION: All with removed headlight washers!)

[DaveDreads]

So an aftermarket steering wheel would be a failure?

I asked my local MOT place the same question, they said alot of the MOT additions get revised as they are often unworkable.

They said as far as they're concerned if you have a steering wheel fitted and it's airbag is faulty it's a fail,
if they had a car in with an aftermarket steering wheel they'd more than likely pass it,
as in their opinion something can't be faulty if it's not there. (As long as the airbag light isn't on)

I'll see if thiey stick to that interpretaion come January when the new rules come into effect.

Wow didnt know that alot of cs members have dodgy M.O.Ts. I personally wouldnt do one as you can get fuked for it and loose ya job.

Worst I did was an old Beetle. Spent 2 hours on it and abandonded the test as id filled 2 failure sheets already. Swept most of the car into the bin and drove what was left back outside for the customer to come and collect. The bloke drove it home. I told him it wasnt safe for me to drive out of the workshop.
