hi all. i thought i would open a thread to help out with any mot related issues. i am a qualified mot tester for class 4,5 and 7 vehicles.

 

any at all. here to help

 

would a zetec on carbs and a CAT pass MOT?? on emissions etc? any experience with this. From a 2002 focus by the way lol

 

If the headlight aim was correct etc, is it possible to pass an MOT with an aftermarket HID kit fitted?

 

why do you testers always find a reason to fail my cars

 

hi there. impossible one to answer untill its hooked up to the gas analyser to see what the reading is.from the sounds of it i wouldnt have thought the emissions would be acceptable to pass, though you may be able to find a friendly tester!

 

if there is a correct beam pattern and the aim is ok then it will pass yes

 

if you own a ford then that fact answers your own question lol

 

is it right that reverse lights not workin is just an advisory?

 

My fiesta (1979) has started using quite a bit of oil (5ltr's per week) will this show up on the gas analyser or is my car exempt because of its age for the gas test?

 

If front fog lights are fitted but not working/wired up, is this a fail

 

yea turbocab mine didnt work for abit passed mot just advisory got it sorted now switch on gearbox

 

if the sides of the seatbelt at starting to fray alittle is this a fail?
i will post pics at the weekend

 

mar k run a lighter down it no more frayed edges

 

I've seen Mark with a lighter, he will have no more frayed edge because he will have no more seatbelt, or probably even a car

 

Can the brake tester be used as a rolling road?

 

no!

 

need pics tbh

 

not even part of the test mate

 

i think you will find it needs self levelling system and headlamp washers to be a pass mate check the book!

 

best way to test it is park in a confined unventilated area, attach a hosepipe from the exhaust and plum it in through the window.
sit in the drivers seat and hold rpm at approx 3000rpm until you die you fucking useless forum troll
piss off you knacker

check his other posts guys he is a nob!

 

hi reverse lights are not part of the test so shouldnt even end up on the advisory sheet

 

on that year it will be just a visual smoke test

 

front fog lights arent part of the test. the only fog light that needs to be fitted and working is the offside rear

 

just lightly burn them off with a lighter etc

 

no way would leave a very expensive mess lol!

 

center to o,s,r

 

yes your right my apolagies to the chap who asked the question!

 

correct

 

there is a hell of alot of testers on this sight including me lol.

 

fair enough probably silly of me to put up a help thread for cars when everyone on here must work on them lol!

 

ill leave the thread open for anyone to give advice as didnt realise so many testers on here. only fair

 

thanks,

great thread by the way.

maybe there should be a dedicated room set up for testers to answer qs

 

can anyone tell me if this would cause the car to fail?
the shocks still work as they should and they dont leak

 

i would def fail it for the quality of those pics

 

lol, they were taken on my work phone.

 

im going to be running dunlop rally gravels, will these pas an MOT?

 

Would you pass my Mk1 Cortina Cossie project? It has a Mk1 Cortina shell but 4x4 Sierra floorpan.

 

depends whats marked on the tyre,
some rally tyres are road legal but not all

 

as long as its done correctly then no reason why it should fail,
only questions that might need answered is vin numbers wont match,
so prob require a sva?(not sure on the rules for that)
i'm qualified for testing class 1,2,3,4 and 7 so might be able to help out with any bike questions as well(class 1&2)
