took the rx7 for its second mot since ive had it and it surprisingly failed! The bloke doing the test commented on how mint the underside was, but whilst under there he spotted a fukd steering rack outer rubber gaiter (drivers side) and he also noticed i had no rear fog light. I thought i might be able to get away with the (lack of) fog lamp as someone told me if the car aint got one,they cant test it?? That menas the ****s down southampton must have done a quicky "get it out the door" mot!
Anyway apart from that little dissapointment im going to paint 1 reverse light bulb red (leave the lense white) then run a ground wire to a switch tucked under the dash somewhere. and also try and get that steering rack gaiter done before monday..does anyone know the part number for the rubber steering rack outer gaiter?? Also has anyone had any greif with the mot stations with the painted red fog lamp bulb mod??
Another Fog light fix is to buy a rear screen brake light (one of the ones with suckers) and wire it in with a switch rather than the brake lights. Hey presto Fog lamp, then you can remove it after the MOT.
brett..your a bloody genius..why didnt i think of that :rolleyes:
I have a painted red reverse light fixed up to be a fog light. Works really well, and passed the mot no problem.
