mot

Post by charlie » 16 Jan 2010

took me bx to the cardiff bus depot for its mot last week

and was expecting to post here for the usual bit of advice

but it sailed through with only one advisory

did bottle out though and change the yellow bulbs i had in

and the mot only cost me £25

:D :D :D :D :D

Doesn't mention colour Charlie, only that they have to work.

Oh and you can't have a white light shining backwards of more than 21 watts.

What was the advise mate?

Yellow lamps CANNOT fail the MoT, my examiner is a total cunt, and even he passes them now, after I had a slight row with him about it..

the advisory was very slight movement in the lower ball joint

which did have me raise an eyebrow cause i thought any movement was a fail

so its on my to do list for when the weather gets better :roll: :roll:

Ahhh, not too bad at all then.
No no, slight movement is acceptable, anything more than fractional is a PHAIL..
