mines failed today :(........on bloody side light bulbs, forgot to put the standard ones back in! AC tried to charge me £24 to replace them and i refused to pay lol, told them i would come down and fit them myself, in the end they agreed to only charge for the bulbs so £1.76 extra onto the bill and i passed my MOT. On a side note, i now am sick of my car as it turns out my gearbox has to come out again because it is making a noise and leaking oil also the rear shock supports need replaced and i will be without my car for another two days and cant get a courtesy car cos im under 21 [:@] roll on next year when i can change my car!

PS Hope all goes well for you tomorrow!

Mine has passed 2 MOT's now with LED's and HID's... try another testing centre next time! There's nothing wrong with LED's as long as they're white. Before I put mine I even checked with the traffic police and they said they where fine.

In fairness to RF I have heard of some test centres who have failed cars with LED sidelights. Obviously others don't. It must just be a rather anal test centre that you take your car to mate! Try another one.

All the best with yours Scott.

Arnold Clark had a promotion on for MOT's so i went there plus i had to get my car looked at for yet more problems. They were going to fail me on the leds (that were white btw :wtf:) but i was'nt long on telling where to go if they were going to fail me haha. So annoying cos i just fitted them last week and they were good quality ones as well!

no i was quite worried about what other problems they were going to find tbh, so i forgot to ask them to leave them in the car :doh: Got another set anyway.

Scott, i am sure your car will be looked after at Ingrams since your bro works there!
