MOT questions

I can also confirm that a rear fog light is needed for both SVA and MOT although the rules on positioning are less stringent for MOT. As an example I needed a hanging down foglight for SVA but it has now been changed to one of my reversing lights which is ok for MOT.

Having the driver\'s side reversing light converted into a fog is fine for sva - that\'s how mine passed it\'s sva and recent MOT.

Adding to the point about people \'de-tuning\' their motors for MOT or spot-checks - I was lucky in that mine had no issues with the emissions levels (was high but just below the limit).  If it was a k-plate or later the test would\'ve been stricter and it may have failed.  I\'d have had no qualms with tweaking the PFC settings to get it past this though.  

I do think that it\'s possible to higly tune an FD and have it meet >96 tests but it would cost a few HP and more than a few quid.  High-flow cats are damn expensive!

Its not, there would of been an additional foglight on for the SVA which would of then been changed to the reversing light before you took delivery of the car.

If you actually done the SVA yourself, im prepared to be proved wrong but then you probably had a suspect SVA as im pretty sure thats not allowed.

Infact I think yours is a 92 so might not have even needed an SVA.
