The Silver Bullet failed its MOT today :'(, not unexpectedly :-[
The headlight aim was out, adjuster not doing anything useful. *sigh*
But did it fail on anything else?
-
I foresee predictable voting, here..
-
Disappointed I can only choose one item, I'd have loved to vote for the dangly thing just for giggles ::)
Voted seriously for once, handbrake efficiency ;)
Might be time to try replacing the cable :-\
-
I'd agree with LD on the handbrake, it was by all accounts, bleedin' naff when I drove it ;D

And there was me thinking you were baiting them prior to banning :D :D ;D
-
I'm going to go with handbrake but for some reason I think It's something more trivial than that like indicators too white :o
-
you really ought to try feu de orange

I wanted to pick everything on the list....sulk! Your car's knackered, but loveable. Just like you TB! :-*

Actually I think anything blocking the drivers vision is illegal and a fail, so if they wanted to be awkward and not remove it themselves it could fail? Fluffy dice spring to mind, or how big is the air freshener and wheres it hanging lol
-
The amount of rubber you admit to leaving all over the gaff it has to be tyres below the legal minimum! ;D ;)
-
Voted rear tyres low, but suspect corrosion issue.... Surely by now? ;D
-
....

In that case, if I was a Traffic Copper I'd remove all the TomTom/sat-nav/etc that you see in the middle of the screen directly in front of the driver (......... how the hell can you see where you're going with it there) and make the driver drive over the thing!!! >:( >:( ::)
-
not so long ago in new trucks we had to reposition the rear camera monitors on the dash they were failing the mot. even stickers across the top of the screen which crossed into the swept zone by more than 40mm.

Am to feert tae vote it ' it's there :-X :-X

Being a new member, you will be unaware that I cherish the VT30 I have, stating "Air Freshener".
Cherish? That wasn't quite what I meant...
-
As stated, the handbrake seemed the obvious so gone for "other lights" with a guess that the lenses are milky!

The answer was the very top one......

What? You broke your Poopoooop...? ;)
Steering wheel related? :-\

Not being Toad of Toad Hall, I never use it (probably last used at last MOT ::)), so did immediately think steering wheel. I'm more of a flasher, oooo-errr!
Don't think its wheel related - can hear the relay clicking when switch pressed.
Tried a replacement horn, and a replacement relay, still no workio. Need to go through it methodically now.

Don't/shouldn't you have two horns? a 500Hz & a 400Hz to give a 'twin tone' horn. One of my horns stopped working, swapping over horns/wiring suggested it was a feed problem. The cause was that the wiring had been chaffed right through on one side by the convoluted conduit under the battery tray somewhere. :)

Yup, dual horns, but only have 1 spare in garage. So unless my 2 on the car, plus the one in the garage has failed, I too will be chasing the wiring, so your post has been very helpful :y. Bumper is off anyway, for the headlight removal, so hopefully should be easy to see if its in that area.

At last, I have guessed right ;D ;D ;D

Headlights refitted at 7:15 this morning, just as it got light. Brrrrrrrrrr.
Fault found with horn, bodged to prove, proper fix tonight (might struggle with one bit, might have to run off one horn until I can get a part), bumper back on, tweak the headlight aim to be close-ish.
Booked back in Fri morning.
