^^ lol ,
well its passed now , put some orange bulbs in which the tester gave me for free so not too bad , and found out the switch was broken for the sidelights ,(not letting them stay on with keys out) ,
another question , the tester put my car on the 2wd rollers for brake test , I told tester it was 4wd and he said its OK, ( was only on there for a couple of seconds,) is it OK for a awd car to go on 2 rollers brake test or would this cause damage?)
thanks for the help

should really have tested the brakes using a decelerometer.
i have tester 4wd drive cars using rollers but it doesnt give exact readings because of all the drag of the 4wd

When the tester enters your reg into the computer at the beginning of the test he should get a warning not to test on 2wd rollers, printed on the test sheet.
That said my first Scoob was tested loads of times on the rollers with no apparent damage. It is a viscous system after all.

Is the igition off & side lights on part of the standard test??
Don't think mine has never been tested, they do work like that but it's never been part of the Norn Iron MOT test AFAIK.
