quote: Ive been told that isnt the case. The rear brakes only need to pass a certainly efficiency, it doesnt matter if the wheels tuirn or not. I'm not a tester either but thats what ive been told. My C had an MOT only a couple of days before i bought it, but the handbrake couldnt even stop the car from moving on a hill. Since then the rear brakes have been taken part more than once, its had new rear brake cylinders and new shoes and while it is better, it still cant lock the rear wheels. | |

Put some tin foil over the head light and switch your head lights on for a bit....should dry it out. | |

well sounds like the rear brakes need adjusting and yeah condensation on the headlight lense will fail mot as the light wont pass through what is water really | |

well dont try and click them in on either side, the part has like a small plastic ball on the end, dont get it to go in its hole, then it will push the headlights up and at the right angle for uk spec. | |

when you fit the headlights there is a fitting that goes into the headlighr which controls the adjustment, it has to pushed in quite hard ? do you no the bit ? | |

sounds like a strict mot station imo...im not an mot tester but im sure the rear brake test is done by pulling the handbrake up fully and trying to accelarate thus if the car pulls and the wheels turn = fail | |
