Re: School Boy Error
Sorry guy's just got back in.
Yes, as Marc has just mentioned £49.99 was what I've paid and that included a heath check for what ever that is worth
I will phone the service advisor tomorrow to make sure it's been carried over but it has FASH and all MOT's carried out by them.

Re: School Boy Error
Since 2012 the MOT Test has required that IF if you have Xenon headlights and either headlight washers or headlight levelling are fitted they MUST work - but if they're not fitted there's no problem passing the MOT.boombastik wrote:why would head light washers fail the MOT if they are INOP

Re: School Boy Error
The MOT Test only requires them to be working IF fitted, it doesn't require them to be fitted. This is how aftermarket Xenon kits pass the MOT Test without either washers or levelling - all that's needed for them is the headlight alignment to be correct and the main beam warning bulb to work.MB2 wrote:I believe for Xenon lights you must have headlight washers & self-levelling to be road legal so I suspect this is the reason behind an MOT fail for this.
This is one of several areas where the MOT Test requirements are different to the UN and EU (and hence UK) legal requirements for a vehicle to be Type Approved.

Re: School Boy Error
Under the lighting conditions:
Exclusions: Bulbs, fuses, wiring and connections.
...did I read on here that headlight washer fuses are the most frequent cause? I wonder what would happen. If that turned out to be the case.

Re: School Boy Error
I would imagine that as the Headlight system is specifically mentioned in the items that are covered, it would be fine regardless of a fuse being the culprit of the failure.

makes life a little easier for you. Was it Audi or a back street garage doing the MOT?
