Out of pure interst how much storage do you run in total and how much does the OOF take up.
Who/where/what insurance providers do people use?Unfortunately that probably means your previous NCB (no claims bonus) may NOT be accepted by UK insurers
I haven't needed to buy insurance in the UK for a few years so completely out of touch with which ones are good / expensive / useless etc.
There was a time that the fastest thing on 4 wheels you could buy was a Transit van. Now - the front of every queue round here is some twonk driving one at 45 in a NSL limit.Maybe someone should invent a smart phone app
Must be a day for MOT passes - a pass on the Petrol Blue 3.2 Elite with clean bill of health and no advisories. In fact it created a lot of admiration from the other mechanics during its test..Congratulations on the MOT pass
MOT Pass, no advisories on the BMWCongratulations on the MOT pass
MOT pass on the Smart Roadster .... but with the same advisories on brake pipes it's had on the last 4 MOTs
The NT (Tester) should have noted the NON readable odometer on the certificateOne 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 )
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!
no idea of the bulbs but front fog lights aren't included in the MOTFront fog lights are a testable item on cars first registered on or after 1 March 2018 also DRLs
