sparky_spit Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I'm off to buy a pack of fuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver clasper Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 The only thing was "no buying just a carrier bag". I thought it would be ok for my MOT exempt (they said this was no problem), Triumph, as even if an enthusiastic tester, would give me an idea, that I can check out myself.

Velocita Rosso Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Quoted from sparky_spit- I'm off to buy a pack of fuses. A pack....Yorkshire branches sell them individually.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb5964 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Probably very unfair. But not sure Halfords would be my first choice for an MOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Is it just me that is cynical, in thinking they are looking for the repair work when your vehicle fails, as you can not drive it away if it fails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedTaylor Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Spider has a good point, though the 'cannot drive away' would only apply to certain things. Also as David says - do they use testers who understand classic cars! MUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUT Highly doubtful....I use people (sometimes) that know classics, but when you point out certain things, they say...ooh didnt know that! Typical example wheel bearing `looseness` Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Quoted from Velocita Rosso- I use people (sometimes) that know classics, but when you point out certain things, they say...ooh didnt know that! My regular MOT man commented (in a rant about exemption) that when a tester is presented with an old car that he isn't familiar with, and doesn't know whether lots of play is actually normal, the correct action would be to show it to the owner and ask. I'm not sure the DVLA would see it that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver clasper Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 Went to Halfords as I wanted to try Rain X anyway, as my wipers aren't brill. On offer, as buy one, get one free. The free MOT voucher is valid for 10 months apparently, so no rush and will give it a go I think. Would normally support a local garage, but the one have been using, p..... me off last time.
