MOT fail, but on what?
« on: 30 January 2012, 17:30:02 »

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?

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'm going to go with handbrake but for some reason I think It's something more trivial than that like indicators too white :o

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 ;)
