Yes to which one lol? both?

Washer jets are required if you have a windscreen fitted.

Cars from 1987 require an indictor that can be seen from the side.

thanks :)

cowboy. lol

On a side note - no horn? Is it a fail or just an advisory?

faaaaiil

dont know why, but very sure it is a fail

You need to be able to warn other road users so it's a safety device. Hence no horn = fail.

led strip up the side of you are windscreen tvr style and get waher jets off a pug 405 as they clip onto the wiper arms :-D simmples :-D

Side repeaters are an odd one..

I'm told that 'wrap-around' front indicators mean you dont need side repeaters..

My Glanza doesnt even have fittings for side repeaters, cause the front indicators have those square lumps on that make the flash visible from a bigger angle.

rather than start a new thred i thought id ask here, can i fail for being to low and also on streched tires?

Grey Area with tyre's, as its what the tester deems to be safe. but they will be "unable" to continue the test if the cannot get underneath the vehicle or on to the rollers.

haha love it. :lol:

On the side repeaters issue i heard somewhere that if your rear light indicator can be easily seen from the side then side repeaters arent stricktly necessary (for example 6n's)

same goes for the front ones to,

dont hold me to this lol :paranoid:
