Franky Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Does anybody have any info on if indicator lights need to be fitted to the external side of cycle wings in order to pass a MOT. My 7 does not have these and is due to be MOT'd in June. I have heard rummers from a Caterham agent that these are now required to pass. Any comments???

EFA Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 These were always required to pass, but many test centres forget this requirement. I've had 6 MOT's on my 7 and only fitted temp side repeaterd for one anally retentive tester. If questioned, the never fitted as new gets you out of the situation at least 50% of the time.

rynicolson Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Arnie's right, my old car never had em, and passed two MOT's with me at two different test centres, my new car has never had them from new your honour... act a little dumb if in doubt.

JP Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 I think that the requirement relates to the need for indicators to be visible from the side. The are some testers that have better vision than others it seems when looking for the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyC Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 I have three MOT's and I had heard the same rumours re side repeaters, however no problem at all, I called Caterham "showroom" and they pointed me to an MOT station that understands, local to Caterham.

Delberts Wallet Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Mines just past it's MOT without side repeaters. They didn't even question it. I even got away with out a Cat.

Simos Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 11 years later and still never had a problem with my non-existent repeaters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Haighton Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Milwood (Caterham agent in Gloucestershire) want them fitted. Just a warning if you're taking it to them for an MOT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
