side repeaters... MOT...

[vibrating_Cake]

Right.... on the mot documents ive read cars before the date of april 1st 1986 dont have to have side repeaters... i.e. wing mounted ones.

 

now for the MOT-ers.... if a car is produced in 1986, and registered in 1987 under a D plate.... does it still need side repeaters....

(capri mk3) even if theres none fitted therefore doesnt need to be tested....

 

thing is ive got new wings, cant bear to drill into them for some pesky side-repeaters which never work anyway, any ideas?

i dont have them on mine, which is a late 86, though i have yet to put it through an MOT, i have just pulled all the wires for the side repeaters out, i cant see MOT man remembering that as its only a slight thing, probably glance "oh, no side repeaters ok"

 

my friends got a D reg laser with no repeaters on it and its been through a load of MOTs

 

so you should be ok

yeah, they dont change the tickin rate at all when removed and you dont need to cut and solder any wire, they just unplug from the loom at the front
