So let me get this straight. If I had a defective front seatbelt (As I did on my Alfa), If i was to remove ALL my seatbelts, they can't test hem because they are NOT there? is that waht your trying to say?

BTW. MY above post was auto-corrected incorectly :angry: I ment to say 'Shenanigans' not 'Excellence' :S

EXACTLY- but UK law stipulates a restraining belt fitted to the front most seats (at least)... not mandatory in the rear lol

The Law does NOT specify certain items for scrutineering ... Refering you to the afore mentioned item

Not exactly Daz !

The seatbelt issue is defined by Law, by this, I mean that the Government in a particular Year declared that all new cars be fitted with both front and rear belts... And as new Laws cannot be back-dated, any vehicle built before that year would be exempt !!! You can apply this to many other car features such as Catalytic Converters, emissions, mirrors and others LOL

Lol. You've opened up a possible mine field for questions now. So if my door decided not to close on me on the day of the mot, it would fail as it's fitted. But if I took them off then it should pass as not all cars are fitted with doors from factory. I'd like to see the mot inspectors face if that happened. So what is the most you could strip a car before it would fail an mot do you think. Is something I would love to try for a laugh. Lol

I once cut the whole roof OFF an old Granada and welded some angle-iron across the B-pillars, then took it to a respectable local Garage for a LAFF...

ASK ME WHAT IT FAILED ON (because it did fail) ?:lol:

Lol. That's amazing. So as our cars start to get older and older and the risk of failing an mot becomes greater and greater. The best thing is to start taking those bits off instead of testing them. Lol that's great. But make sure the top seatbelt anchors stay though. Ha ha

No, you plonka :lol: its a date-of-build issue, your doors are part of the "crumple zone" or have impact bars, nice try :P

      Low Oil Pressure Light on E90

      ***OIL PRESSURE WARNING SOLVED***BMW E90 with same issue. Intermittent Oil Pressure Warning light for around a year. No performance issues or strange noises.Started when slowing down coming off highway and then progressed to when driving around town as well.Tried a can of Wynn's Super Charge Oil Treatment and after a few days light stopped coming on around town but still after highway driving. Bought another can and poured that in and six months later no warning lights. Guessing will have to do this again after next oil change but so far so good. Car running and sounding better also.

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hey everyone, I’m thinking about buying a 2021 BMW X3 and want to make sure I’m covering all my bases before making a decision. I’ve heard about VIN decoders and how they can give you details about a car, but I’m not sure what kind of info they actually provide. Do they show anything useful, like accident history or open recalls? Or are they just for basic specs? If you’ve used one that worked well, I’d love to hear about it and any tips for getting the most out of it. Thanks so much!
