Just been watching Bangers and Cash and one of these is up for auction. Must admit I've never heard of it, but what an amazing car.

I tried to find the episode 

it's all down to a tester. My 4x4 ML goes for MOT to a place that can't do a rolling road brake test .... I think, by rights, he should do a deceleration test on a road test .... but has never done so. He never tests my 13 pin trailer socket either! He's never tested my reverse lights!

I still take my cars to him for test though! 

One thing that is mandatory ,yet I doubt ever gets tested .....
"speedometer is working correctly and gives an accurate reading"
obviously speedos are NEVER tested on AUDIs, Golf GTIs (or golfs pretending to be GTI, with Ebay badges,) etc   

A few years back ... maybe 10/13 ..... I presented an Astra G for test with a none working speedo/odometer.
The car passed without comment! (eventually  )

What V6 has the oval connector is it the PFL? I'm sure mine is square connectors on FL version

Didn't Jon Lennon have one? Quite peculiar looking things to my eye. But then what do I know

Nice easy fix then 

and a nice looking car 

Just because something was previously changed,. doesn't mean that a) it's not faulty or b) not correctly fitted.

Fuel filter may not have made a difference, but I would wager that it was overdue.

The gear selector issue is yet another, separate, issue rather than part of everything else.

Have you replaced the MAF yet?

Have you reseated the cluster yet?

Also what other parts have been replaced recently?

Get the codes read, either with the pedal trick or an actual code reader and report back.

Crank sensor produces the rpm signal.

We have found problem!!!!!! Verry funny thing  One small wire on battery - Ground was too rusty so it was poor connection with ground. (sorry hard to explain in English )

And someone asked photos of car. So I made a few

Make sure you get your £90 back.

"rear wash wipe" is not part of the MOT ,so may well not get tested at all ,
reversing lights on a pre 1 September 2009 are not a fail ,but may get an advisory ,similar to the spare tyre .
I guess it's down to the NT on the day ,he/she/them  could miss such items whilst desperately trying to find something that is a fail/money making opportunity ,Kerching £$£$£ 
Indicators on a BMW are tested , even though the BMW driver may never* use them

*Except when parked on double yellow lines , zigzags outside a school

 

Meanwhile............Wee Jimmy Krankies husband has now been charged with pocketing a very large sum of SNP donations. 
I imagine she is already plotting to divorce him and then reinvent herself as a "survivor" of a coercive cruel husband, and then take her rightful place on the throne of Scotland in a couple of years or so. 

When I was on the throne this morning I couldn't help but think of wee nippy dropping into the ocean lol!
