f**kin mot centre!!

[12A]

it costs the full mot fee to report a dodgy mot tester and your car has to be in the same state as it went in because they send the boys out to do checks.
 
can you tell i have just taken an mot managers course? lol

haha, but can you not just write a letter to the dvla or whatever its called?

[DC-TYPER]

take it elsewhere. and explain to the new garage what happened, you probably find they will be less strict just to have one over on the other garage

[elford_tim]

If it only reads in km/h I\'m pretty sure its a fail

Actually I don\'t think it is, but I\'m pretty sure it goes against Construction & Use regs. \'cos I\'m used to km/h I\'ve had several JDM cars with km/h speedos in the past. Didn\'t seem to bother the testers overly.

unfortunatly no, its a big operation if someone complains.

[Johnerz]

i really wasnt rude or anything, spoke when spoken to and followed all his instructions.  just to get thru pain-free
 
complaining will probably just fall on deaf ears, id rather put the energy into fixing the dump valve than some muppet cuz i really dont want to change the mazdaspeed dials in any way!!!!
 
the best part, which i forgot to mention was when he asked me if it had been sva\'d, i was gobsmacked as he really should have known only car younger than 10 years need it!!!  
 
i feel sick now.  ill have to look online for an mot book of some kind with clear rules of can and cants.

over this side we have to go to test centres all run by dvlni.  we cant just go to garages they way you can on the mainland.

[grinder]

there is a mot link somewhere that tells you whats part of the test and what isnt

[Martiny]

Accept your £45 loss and go to another test station and start again. He sounds like a tw*t to me.

Must not interact with other lights.

and so let the grey areas and personal interpertation commence!

its supposed to mean dodgy wiring and stuff. ie: putting your indicators on shouldnt activate the brake light.

interact in what way? it doesn\'t say!
 
I would take it to mean the beam of light shouldn\'t interfear with the other lights.
 
- doesn\'t mean everyone is going to see it the same way you do or i do. That\'s my point.

[interloper393]
