fixed the front lights, was the connection on the back of the switch, need to get some brake light bulbs now. too much snow to drive the corsa down to halfords.

anyone got any decent pics of red mk2 golf gti's nicely modded?

first steps is to get some deep dish 16s and put it on its ass. :D

you are also OK to drive without TAX if going to a BOOKED MOT

simply becuase you can not tax a car without an MOT

it has tax and still currently insured with the owner but has no MOT.

If i was to buy the car tomorrow would i be allowed to drive it home so i can take it to my local MOT station?

I have cover to drive other cars on my insurance.


nope. cuz it aint got insurance if no mot-and no insurance makes it illegal to drive about.

you will have to trailor the car to be safe.


My insurance paid out without an MOT - not proud of it but shit happens

sorted now, got it home, drives really well, wont pass the mot just yet as the fuse for the headlights is blown. also came with a cd player and amp under the passenger seat which is a bonus. will get a few pics shortly.

You just reminded me I need to get my gloves from under the drivers seat :thumbs:

i am sure that you can drive an un-MOTed car to a pre booked MOT appointment.
although you are supposed to go to the closest MOT garage, just book an MOT near home, drive home then phone up and cancel the appointment


or book an MOT and actually get it tested. If it fails you know what needs doing.

Sorry, your wrong.

Stuff like this is my job and how I make a living, so I'll back myself to be right ;)

I have NEVER seen anybody prosecuted for no insurance for not having an MOT. Thats ridiculous.

Who told you that? Did they also tell you if you haven't put your seatbelt on, then thats illegal, so also making no insurance ROFL
