Well it's not goin to Box Hill....

Fookin insurance company wouldn't insure my car

as it had no MOT

 

Spent the entire day gettin fooked about,

 

retest:

 

'Sorry m8 the spare doesn't match the other tyres on the car.'

 

WTF????

 

So I wait til half 2 for my local tyre company to get in a tyre that

fits the superlite an is a 205 60 R13.

£45 quid later I'm down there and he passes it

 

I tell him about the insurance and he says 'Nothin to do with them really.'

My thoughts exactly....

 

And to top it all off....

 

My brand new screen that cost over £130 YESTERDAY Fookin leaks!!!!! :evil:

GREEN LIGHT INSURANCE

[BaileyMex]

They cant fail a car if there is NO spare, if its in there it has to be legal, dunno about being same size tho

 

My Mrs car has different size tyres on it from the factory?? so what would they say to that

The spare was in the boot I used a spare but original wheel.

 

The tester said I couldn't have 2 different size tyres on the front...

 

1 was a 205 60 R13 on a superlite, the other was a 185 70 R13

on the original Ghia alloy I had spare

 

I think they jus took great pride in arsing me about......

 

My Insurance company has wound me up more tho

[bomber1]

ive never known an mot'er to check a spare

[Twinkle]

gutted m8 that sucks

[Wessie]

[Gareth]

ive never known an mot'er to check a spare

 

He didn't it was a spare wheel I had in my garden that came off the car

when I fitted the superlites

[tim]

mate you should of come 2 me for ur mot

[ZetecVan 2.0]

That's sh*t. You don't need your car to be MOT'd to get it insured. Because, how on earth can you get it to the MOT station without driving on the road? And to drive it on the road, you need insurance. You can drive without an MOT provided it's too and from a pre arranged MOT test

[Gareth]

I know, I've run the gauntlet this week and I'm frankly fed up with them

[marky4]

gutted for you mate

 

ring up another insurance company quick some are open till late at night

[BIG G]

what about cars with space savers

[MK2 Gaz]

Spare tyres don't come into an MOT.

[bozie]

what about cars with space savers

 

my cars got a space saver and thats nowhere near the same size as the others.

esepically now i got 17"s on it

[tiko]

Yeah Ive got a space saver which most madern cars have these days (If they have one at all) although it doesnt fit the front, have to swap a rear to the front and stick the space saver on the rear. I can't ever remember being asked by insurance compnies if the cars MOT'd.

[flyingbanana]

if the spare aint there they cant fail you........i all ways take mine out

[Onyx Dave]

Spare is not part of an MOT unless its fitted to the car, if its fitted it has to match the other tyre size on that axle it is fitted too, the wheels can be different but tyre size has to be the same, ie 205/60 13 both sides, doesnt matter if the rear tyres dont match the front as long as there paired ie the same size.

I still need a tax disc :cry:

Exactly my problem...

[Jelly]

When he failed you, you should of just taken the spare wheel out of the car and given it back to the bloke for a re-test.

 

Job's a goodun!
