Wouldn't worry about it if i were you.

My CDX went for its MOT yesterday, quick oil change (its done less than 5K in a year) and it sailed through, no problems at all  :)

The bloke who is going to do the MOT (and, eventually, the repairs) on my roadgoing wreck has just collected it and taken it away.  If it's all OK, I should have it back before lunchtime.

Only MOT included problems I know about are the handbrake and the washers.  The handbrake works, but I'm just not strong enough topull it all the way up.  And he knows about the lack of washers, so I'm sure that won't be a problem. :(

If there's any other problem, then it will be a surprise for me. :(

It's back - no problems - not even an advisory, which is odd, because it got one for the rear shocks last year.   :) :) :)

Handbrake seems to have been OK, so I'll have to go on some sort of bodybuilding course in order tot develop enough strength to pull it on! :(

So good luck to davethediver - hope yours goes as well as mine did. :) :) :)

So called "ice white" often have a pronounced blue "tinge" to them.

Probably that is why they failed as it is illegal to have blue lights on a private car.
