The quick question thread

[homeward]

Just a quick MOT question........ Is it still legal to have only two mirrors on your car? I'm thinking of dropping my passenger side one off and just keeping the rear view and drivers side on my 126?

AFAIK: yes...!

From the MOT Inspectors Manual:

8.1 View to Rear Information
This inspection only applies to obligatory rear view mirrors or indirect vision devices. Indirect vision devices (cameras) may replace mirrors on some vehicles, with the view through to the rear displayed on a screen in the driver’s cabin. Where such devices are fitted, the MoIs and RfRs apply to both the cameras and the screen. There are three acceptable rear view mirror/device positions:
a. an exterior mirror or device that provides a view along the offside of the vehicle
b. an exterior mirror or device that provides a view along the nearside of the vehicle
c. an interior mirror or a device which provides a view to the rear of the vehicle.

9.8 Drivers View of the Road Information
This Section should be read in conjunction with Section 8 of this Manual.
• Obligatory mirrors/devices are as follows: Bodied vehicles must have two mirrors/devices, one of which must be fitted to the offside.

Does anyone on here have a coal fired stove? If so what coal do you use? Are you in a smoke free zone?

Can't be that bad.
Just tell the customers the truth, just say I've been waiting as long as you they didn't have it ready until . . .

I'm not sure, saw someone with them yesterday though, they were so **** that it looked like they had a massive earth problem and were off coloured normal headlights. Not sure how the hell they could see where they were going, and they wernt exactly fully visible to others.

If they are they shouldn't be, look f***ing stupid. Not quite as annoying as illegal HID's, upside down halogen's or them new LED lamps you get in the the latest chelsea tractor (grrr I especially hate those!).

or most new Seat Leon's :bang:

Seems to be banging on about them being FOC on new orders in their tv ads ATM.

 

[ChrisUK]

I feel like leading a crusade hunting each one of them down and smashing them to pieces. I got in over 20minutes ago and I still can't see properly after one of them followed me for 6 miles.

Knowing my luck I'd get pulled to get them checked while that t*** passed me carrying on blinding the rest of Europe

If they powder coat wheels and it's such a durable finish, why not powder coat cars?

Can you imagine how long that would take and how awkward it'd be to bake that many shells on a production line? Besides, every auto repair shop would also need to have it's own oven to rebake after any repairs. Paint is just easier to work with.

Isn't this what insurance approved repairers do anyway?

I know this was causing the issue with our Stilo when it got rear ended, were on about having to remove the LPG tank before they could put the car in the oven.
