[Quantum Owners] Re: MOT Reg Changes
Having had a quick read through the list, things like split gaiters, battery security, headlights working properly with the correct beam pattern, are already included in the MOT, also if your CAT isn't fitted, you'll probably fail your emission test. Most of it just seems to be making sure the modern warning systems in cars now are working and that, if you have a tow bar, it's not about to fall off and is wired correctly. The bit about the seats says that the adjustment mechanism must basically be operative, if you don't have adjustable seats, you don't have an adjustment mechanism! The unsupported wires may present some problems. The Fiesta loom isn't well supported on the front side of the engine but that's its design state, however, I'll have some tywraps with me for my next MOT.

[Quantum Owners] Re: MOT Reg Changes
Driver's seat movement check is maybe a bit excessive, but the others all seem pretty sensible. After all, I wouldn't fancy driving a car with most of those faults. I guess the cat one is on the basis of pollution, which I always thought was a bit OTT, as I believe that most of the pollution generated by a car is during its manufacture, not during driving. What about a Coupe battery, as they aren't held down by a clamp, but can't go anywhere with the bonnet down? Maybe we'll have to see what happens on that one? Dave.
