eeek mines getting closer

[Capri_Steve]

I gave my motor the once over before and thought, "you know, maybe, you never know, it wont fail!" fook off will it not fail. And they have to mess with my carbs for emissions which will probably fook them up, meaning my RR sessions were a waste of f'ing time raaaaaaaaaarrr!!!

cant believe some of the replies on here .

 

if your MOT inspector thinks you need reverse lights (no car even modern ones dont need them ) you should be reporting him to vosa .

 

other lights are dependant on the age of it .

 

im not an inspector myself but im sure if your car is of a certain age then it doesnt need a emmisions test . just a visual test to make sure its not to smokey.

 

surely we should have a list of good and classic friendly MOT stations on th eforum some where .

[Mark2Mark]

Yeah the best bet is try and find a test station that understands OSFs I have got 2 near me does not gaurantee a pass and i would not want it too but at least they are more gentle.

 

on another note does anyone know if my 1967 Anglia has to have a rear number plate light? As i have just removed the bumpers so i will have to drill the back pannel if it does

[Jelly]

Surely a few MOT testers read this to tell us for certain what is legal?

 

How does emissions work for old cars?
