Default MOT'ing the S1..rules??? and where would be best???

...I need my S1 MOT'ing asap (well, after i have a starter motor for it) but i refuse to take it to my local geezer as he's a twat and WILL fail it on EVERYTHING as he's like that!!!!

what i need to know is...WILL the cage pass?? stripped out interior pass??? can't think of anything else apart from emisions 'possibly'??? oh, the back window with 2/3rds covered with a sticker!!!

Never MOT'ed a car with a cage before!!!

anyone know of any 'good' places in bedfordshire that could..cough....turn a blind, half open eye?!??!

So you only need the one seat for the MOT? Mine is Weds, and dont want to put the interior back in unless I have to.

No reason why it won't go straight through Keith.....there are LOADS of cars with cages! Do you think they all take them out and re-fit the interior every year

Mine went to Ford and passed first time

No worries here with a cage and harnesses.

Oh, apart from not being able to move the sun-visors because of the front cage. Must be moveable if fitted so I was told, so they ripped them out
