I thought an insecure battery was also a failure already. Jim
From: Mark Miles Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 9:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] MOT Reg Changes I have had an MOT fail previously for a split rubber on a steering balljoint so I suspect that this is not a change. The HID thing is good news, around here we have a lot of clios etc with aftermarket HID and they are dazzling at best. The insufficiently supported/protected wires is a direct concern for me. The wiring on my car is in a dreadful state. I think this will bring forward my project to update the electrical systems on the car. MOT in June so something of a priority I think. I am not sure of the benefit of a drivers seat that moves.... I am the only person that drives my car and the seat hasn't been moved since I bought the car nearly three years ago.

Someone at work forwarded the below link to me last week: http://uk.autoblog.com/2012/01/04/changes-to-mot-rules-in-2012-are-you-ready/ I was wondering how some of this might affect our Quantum's at MOT time. (Not sure how much of the article is the usual scare- mongering). Some highlights I thought may casue a few issues: 1. Missing, or split/damaged dust covers on steering and suspension ball-joints will result in failure if they will allow dirt to enter the joint. <maybe that's always been the case and is good practice to sort ASAP anyway but a pain if time is short in the run-up to your MOT>. 2. They've essentially closed the door on after-market HID (GOOD!). So if you've got them, you may have trouble now. 3. Fail for insufficiently supported or protected wires. 4. Driver's seat must go back and forward. So presumably if you've got a fixed type bucket seat, that could be a problem. Any thoughts?
