Oh crap, my MOT is tomorrow  :-X So on the hottest day of the year I swopped out the rear shocks & flushed out the old brake oil. Last done 4 years ago  ::)
I always make a mess doing this simple job, but the light oli spilled; soon evapourated away

I  cleaned up all the brake lines as best I could, but the N/S/R  looks a  bit iffy  :-\
I buffed up the head lamps with  T-cut & now they sparkle & my Polish exhaust system fitted a number of years ago still looks ok.

I believe that there is some code in the ECU which interprets GPS signals and knows when you are on your way to the MOT centre ::)

someone needs to do an ECU remap, so the indicators work AFTER BMWs leave the test center  :P

Hey now, it's a planet-killing petrol BMW, not a child-murdering diesel VAG, I'll have you know!  :P ;D

Yep - It's what mine did - they know where I keep the spare bulbs - but they still printed the fail and then pass sheet.  :)

They all do it to some degree.  It's only VAG which has been caught thus far.
