Not the Omega, the 206.
It's a bitter sweet thing - bitter that it didn't pass, but often sweet as the failure list could be extensive!
On this occasion I'm a bit disappointed but no point in worrying about it. So having paid £30.50 for the initial, full test, I've now to pay a further £18.50 for the retest. And the failure items?
Just the one ........ offside headlight bulb defective :-X

£30 for a test, thats cheap, around £50-£55 here :'(
-
I think that's maybe why we have no advisories but an automatic retest.
It all adds up!

Where I go that would have been replaced during the test for the cost of the bulb but everywhere is different I suppose

I know. Tested on Monday night, and all ok, but didn't get round to doing it this morning again as I was late home from work. Still, could have been worse.

Don't they only charge a retest if you take the car away? Surly you could have changed the bulb there and bingo it's done :y

MOT test in Norn Irn is completely different to GB. ;)

My pesky number plate lamp played this trick on me this year.. ::)
If the tester hadn't noticed that the exhaust was only hanging by a thread I'd have been annoyed with it. ;D
-
when I took Rover for mot---number plate bulb was out---the mot guy fitted a new bulb :y :y how good was that :y :y

In what way is it diffrent?
-
It isn't carried out at garages.Its done at govt. test centres by people employed to do nothing but MOT testing. It tends to be a lot more rigorous than the test on the mainland. :y
People in Norn Irn often nip across to Scotland to get a ticket from a garage around Stranraer,as its less hassle,and you don't have to wait so long to book an appointment in peak times.

to fail on a bulb that`s bad luck
I booked my MOT for 2 pm today, but dithered right up to last Sunday whether or not to fit my eternal exhaust sytem or not. So in 28 degree heat I bit the bullet & cut the old system off.
The eternal parts slotted together nicely but the middle sections are a bit weighty. The cat joint after 10 years was a tad grotty, but sealed up no probs. Surprised that the Flexi joint looked as good as it does.
So i`m thinking today, he can`t fail her on the exhaust. As far as i can determine the rest of the car is all original. so just maybe the suspension/ steering might let me down.
But she passed with one advisory : Front exhaust mount corroded. :y
-
Good result :y
-
well done :y :y
