:lol: @ penfold

Mine failed cos i removed the plastic arches to give em a bit of a shave. I thought it was ok as long as theyre not about to fly off and smack some granny in the scone.

Stuck em back on and it passed with 17's lowered 50 mm. slight scrubbing on the rolling road which i pathetically tried to cover up by whistling, humming, and just about everyother type of sound i could produce. ooh er!:lol:

Luckily the guy was dead on and said it wasnt serious enough to fail on.

Phew.

Wouldnt worry about size and shit mate, my Civic passed with 17's no problems, Corsa passed on 15's and 17's.

you dont need reverse lights. Do all the other lights work on your rear clusters? if so it could be the reverse switch in the gearbox has gone happened on my old nova not expensive to replace from memory

As sorry then people I was wrong, just as far as I know it was a failure, mate of mine got loads of shit off of a copper because his lights didnt work, backing out of a parking space and copper drove past, pulled him and gave him producer and 14 days to fix the problem.

Anyhow, would listen to these guys over me, obviously im wrong.

they dont come into the test mate itll be fine without. if it is the gear box switch its easy to do and cheap.

I have 3 spare bulbs, I have checked the fuses. Its more of a problem than the obvious solutions, which is why im fretting. Maybe reverse light switch as just had gearbox changed, could be a loose connection?

not part of the test at all, classed as drivers aid

Whats the legalities on Reversing Lights for an MOT? Only i'm having my MOT tomorrow and I've just checked the obvious bits, no reversing lights :mad:
