Hi, Is it true that a rear fog light must only be fitted to a vehicle first used on or after 1st April 1980? (mot rules)

mine has decided not to work but i have a '78 car.. so could just take it off.

You are correct, you can just remove it.

If your removing it, make sure you remove the switch as well

I've wired up one of my reversing lights as a fog so I don't have the seprate one hanging off

Lol, its booked in at Madley test centre.

Fog light is now working again, so will leave it on due to the switch being live. It will be removed after MOT test .. and the switch wil be used for something else :)

cheers chaps.

drive flange issue on off side.. there was a knocking sound that turned out to be the wheel almost coming off!

easy to sort.. but a bit shit. Looks like the tread was shot for a wheel nut.

next seems to be an intermittent issue with the fuel pump, causing the car to cut out.

Now, last night i mounted this vertically i don’t think it likes it..

fecking minis!!!

What pump are you using? My friend had a similar thing with a fuel pum on is nova and it turned out he was running it the wrong way! Might be worth a look? And sorry is it is a bit like stating the obvious?
