Cider - 3 bottles left over from Guy Fawkes (just woke up) Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

I know this is a Defender forum, but the above advice could be taken to be all encompassing. When this subject was discussed on another car forum I frequent the following advice came to light: "It is also worthy of note that a few high performance vehicles fitted with HID headlamps that have barely any luggage space and stiff suspension do not require a self-levelling system." This is from a VOSA guidance note, the full text of which is here: http://www.partinfo.co.uk/files/MOT%20Changes%20-%20Lighting.pdf |

The doc you link to also has this wording....
"Headlamp washing and levelling systems are mandatory for all vehicles fitted with LED headlamp systems, although these are not yet widely used and only tend to be optional fitment on some executive marques. However, as LED systems improve and because they can be arranged in almost any design configuration, they are sure to become more common. Where headlamp levelling or cleaning devices are missing or defective, but there is doubt as to whether they are required, the benefit of the doubt should be given and an advisory notice issued." As before though this is for MOT. Legality of car is determined by current legislation and any exceptions that the DfT may see fit to issue. |

I'm considering fitting dustcaps that have a rubber cap under which is a Schrader valve. Wondering what the 'legislation spin' will be on that one?
Anyone care to shed a little light or comment perhaps? Don't know if I would be able to cope if I received an advisory on my next MOT. This thread despite having JW Speakers fitted myself is becoming 'tiring' now! Thought the issue of fitment was done and dusted ages ago? Obviously until Tim comes up with the goods the rules and regulations are open to personal interpretation. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Me I don't give a flying f***! Happy with the product, got an MOT so no faffing with swapouts, will just have to stove them in in the event of them surviving a smash NOT!
Expect a HUGE discount if I have to replace. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!! Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |
