....
13 pin sockets are testable when fitted ,7 pin are not (there is no standard wiring configuration for 7 pin) ....
I know .... which is why I specifically said 13 pin socket .... not just trailer socket.  ;)

The NT (Tester) should have noted the NON readable  odometer on the certificate
what did he /she/them ::) put as the milage ? did he/she/them look at the ECM data  ??? just guess  ??? or ask YOU ,the vehicle presenter to guess  :D
 ....
He put down what the odometer said .... which was the same as the previous year  ;)

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!  ;D

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  ::) )

....
Front fog lights are a testable item on cars first registered on or after 1 March 2018 also DRLs
also...
You need to test reversing lamps on vehicles first used from 1 September 2009.

Not applicable to a 20 odd yr old Omega then  ;)

Changing the oil+filter is interesting,  if car isn't high enough you can't drop undertray flap down enough,  .....

you need a Pela oil-sucker-outerer  :y

 I'm of the old skool,, undo sump plug, and make a mess on the floor as the tray is positioned wrong,

I've a Pela because one of my Smarts doesn't have a sump drain plug, but I do remember having a car where the under tray fouled the floor before it came off.

My oil-sucker-outerer can't be pushed down far enough to suck the oil from my classic and highly desirable Vauxhall. :-\

The tube is long enough but there is an obstruction of some kind.
Strange  ??? So how does the dip stick reach the oil if there's an obstruction ??  :-\

I thought that wishbones that had the harder polly bushes fitted had a tendency to crack  :-\ :-\

Only if you fit them to the back,

I knew there was something about polly bushes ..... it's been a while since my Omega days  :y

 .... and they're all so much bigger. I saw a P6 TC on my way home from work this evening .... they used to be considered a big car in their day .... it didn't look very big anymore.
