Hi guys,
Am thinking of my first MOT on my 2002 1.9 Multispace, due in November. I know it needs two new tyres and today I miraculously (with help from this forum!) fixed the long-term airbag warning light by disconnecting and then reconnecting the wiring under the driver's seat. Thanks so much!! Hope the light stays off for good now.
More recently it has had a new battery and a full new exhaust system. The engine starts first time every time. Very pleased with how it runs.
I've been reading a lot on this forum and found that faulty indicators can fail an MOT. When turning right the indicator works, stays on, but once I am heading straight again it switches to the left indicator and I have to manually turn it off. It doesn't happen when I put on the left indicator. I have already had an altercation with a guy who pulled out when I was doing 35mph, because he thought I was going to turn left (even though there was no evidence of me slowing down for the turn).
So will this fail my MOT? The stalk feels a bit 'slack'.
I know the whole unit to replace is expensive but could it just be a loose stalk and easy to fix?
Also, my central locking is very sensitive. Have already locked my keys in the car with the shopping - thankfully the RAC came out. For example I place the keys on the bin when I'm working on the car and the central locking can go on and off at will! I don't suppose it's an MOT failure? But, any thoughts would be gratefully received. I am now very careful not to place the keys in the boot whilst I'm loading up the shopping
