No.

Are the original reversing lights obligatory for the MOT?

I wonder if a less expensive option is rear spots activated by a switch in cab...?

 

I stand to be corrected here, because this is contradictory, if it’s got a light it should work to pass a MOT, but reverse lights only need to work on the offside to pass a MOT. A switch on the dash won’t pass a MOT, unless you are in Stoke where £80 will get you a MOT.

Funny isn’t it, I live in a camper, and have more visits from the police than most, not once have they tried the, drunk in charge of a vehicle. I do enjoy a beer, it’s not top of my list mind. You

At what, 40-50 years of age you learnt the word, prick from me?, amazing!

Evidently i do forget a face otherwise i’d probably have thought “there’s that prick from arbtalk” as you dove past.

 

This has turned into our own little thread, hope your enjoying it as much as I am

And there you go, you told me I wasn’t being nice. See where it goes wrong?

are you sure it wasn’t another fat bloke?

No, it was you. I might forget a name, but not a face.

that’s not very nice eggs.

 

Thankfully I was aware that i was getting fat as i wasn’t really climbing any more so made the effort to get off my lardy arse and change my diet, start swimming and working out again. Not only do i feel great physically it’s done wonders for my mental health.

 

maybe some exercise and a lifestyle change would help you? 

 

 

Exercise, I walk about 5-6 miles a day. I drove past you, end of March, early April, I’d have stopped and got breakfast, but…

Evening John, apart from being, big, fat, and ugly I hope everything is well?

is it not the point of a forum to post a comment? 

perhaps you feel youre above having people comment on your self-congratulating posts?

Prick.

I’ve been around 11 n half stone since I was a teenager, my mate said today, you need to put some weight on, I’m sure I don’t, I eat well. Would you think 11 n half stone at 5’8” is far out?

I’m absolutely sure you wouldn’t find me. Why do you need to comment?

Good job for him you didn’t start a thread about it.  🤪

I could have chucked his name in, but…

I’m parked in the middle of nowhere (Staffordshire/Derbyshire border) when a gypsy I know from Suffolk pulls up next to me, that was strange enough, but he was agitated, not surprising, he was there to meet another gypsies wife! They’ve begged me not to tell anyone, like I would! How unlucky can someone be, hundreds of miles from home and get caught by Egg!

No idea what the rush was.

I bow hauled a narrowboat from Great Haywood (Stafford) to Stoke, took me a week, wouldn’t fancy doing it again!

Weird one this.

Put it into reverse and the engine cuts out, all power including lights.

Unplug reversing sensor, no issue except it won't pass the 'control technique' (MOT)

Bought a new sensor, worse, reverse lights on all the time.

Change plug, no change.

What is likely to be the issue here?

What fault codes have you got?

Tell us yours, I may have told this before, but here goes.

I’m fairly sure it was ‘84 when my mates parents took me to Glastonbury, we met up with a mate of theirs who’d nicked a hearse from the undertaker’s  he worked for to get there!  Tell us your stories. You 

Same place I refuse to park on the access road, note the machine gun on the roof.
