Ok, pretty much its that time of year again, and im in portsmouth until the beginning of November, however my MOT runs out on the 19th.. dilema in the fact I need the car down here, but if it runs out of mot I cant take it back up when my block down here is over, well i'll have 7 days to get the work finished

obviously I dont want to get a dodgy mot, but a kind tester that can turn a blind eye at smaller things would be a god send...

 

Im not even sure what it might fail on, just I know that it smells of petrol and im worried about my emissions I guess?

 

Does anyone know of a good test station to go to, im willing to travel a bit to get there.

 

Cheers

Well, I had the MOT today, it failed on a broken bulb on a side repeater, and the fact that there are no rear fog lights.......?

Now, this car has been in the uk for a number of years, so how is it that it has passed in the past..? can you get detachable rear fogs for example?

 

I need to get in touch with Apache.. does anyone have his contact details?

 

Thanks very much

You can get a bolt on from halfords for about £10 plus you need a switch on the dash.

 

Search for fog light and there will be lots of threads with some options.

You can also convert one of your reverse lights to a fog and put a red bulb/led in.

Use the orange switch down by the handbrake - it should put on the inner 2 brake lights..............

hiya 1 of the buttons controls the rear fogs i believe ill try and find out which 1

thats the one lol

Too slow - lol

I'm a bit late myself!

 

Thanks very much for that... stupidly as I couldnt tell what any of the buttons did other than the snooper, I have since rewired.... but all the wires are still there so it's just a case of putting them back in..

 

WHOOPS!

 

Thanks very much for the quick turn around!!

I'll get on that tomorrow morning and book it in for it's re-test midweek

Cheers

also, while we're on the subject... what did any of the others by the hand break do Apache? the blue one for example?

 

Thanks!

They were both spare - I was going to use one to switch the illuminated 300zx rear centre panel on/off but never got around to it...........

Ok thanks very much!

 

I'll get on it, theres no reason why it should fail next time which is good, however there were 2 advisories on rust which I need to sort out at some point.. :(

 

Thanks very much!
