haha, i want it lower suj! its lower at the back by an inch or so, cant do much more without redoing the axle flip as the wheel wont sit central of the arch as the lower it is, the more it sits close to front of the rear arch, looks poop then!

 

[crezz]

well failed mot today but nothing much,

one brake hose, sorted that after having to re flare another line

both rear wheel bearings, sorted that

rear fog light not working, yet to have a look, but was working as i re routed to reverse light, im guessing dodgey earth,

rear number plate light? aint sure what he was on about as it was working! lol

all in all, not bed, re test next week it is

 

[MarkWales]

is the plate light correctly located?

 

[crezz]

above the number plate in the middle like so

 

[MarkWales]

should it have 2 ?

 

[old yella]

That should'nt matter as long as its iluminated enough..

 

[m0rk]

Depends on if the tester believes that the one light you have sufficiently illuminates the plate. One might argue it doesn't

If another light is present & doesn't work - that's a failure.
If more than one light is meant to be fitted - that's a failure.

 

[crezz]

well thats a strip of about 8 led's, i think it does the job well enough? well obviously not! haha

as for if there's meant to be two lights, how would he know? its not like they have a manual for every car saying blah blah ect ect do they? aint that like saying that your car will fail for removing you rear wiper? it was there but now not?

 

[crezz]

I would stop and point aswell tbh if I saw it. Bet it is even more satisfying the fact that you have done all the bodywork and paint yourself and the results of that are obviously showing when people stop and point.

 

[suj]

[crezz]

I'm thinking you need a nice TDI in there buddy.

 

[crezz]

indeed bud, opting towards the 1600td tho or poss the gtd

 

[M1KEH]

Rare engine now though really. AHU's from mk3 golf tdi's or mk2 ibiza tdi's. And others are so much more common. And room for more go. Whats your connection with Irelands? My old bikes in there for double what I sold it for .
