MOT - Side repeaters

[nky_84]

Anyone know the ruling on this?

Car is a 1989, currently has a flipfront without repeaters on the wings, would this be an MOT fail?

[intrepid]

My understanding is that if they are present then they have to work...they don't test against the original spec.

its a fail.

they have to have them from 1984 (i think) on.

by 1989 they are a must.

ive known people fail and have to retro fit them to cars that have had non side repeater wings fitted.

They have to be fitted to any car registered fter 1/04/1986 unless the front indicator forms part of a wrap round lamp and they have to be visible from the side (looking from the back) of the car and be E marked.

Slightly different but I never fitted them to my Caterham in 1990 and it passed every MoT until I sold it in 2002
My BMW M3 (E30) was an "F" reg (1989???) and that hadn't got them. Some had and when a daft woman drove into me it caused all sorts of hold ups as the garage got the wrong wing!
