Is this ok for the MOT? I thought I had read somewhere here that indicators that weren't 'orange enough' were a fail, or am I having a 'false memory' moment ?  :-/:D ;D

Thanks for that, I may do the same as they do look a lot nicer :y
As for your MOT station, it sounds like a place to go if you are single & desperate, but I carry the most precious thing on earth in my car, my Family, so I need mine done Kosher  ;) :y

Dodgy MOT = dangerous wear on a critical component not spotted = RTA = Death
