Expensive?
The 03 Kalos has no problems, but then wouldn't expect it yet anyway.
My advice is to get there in plenty of time before the old MOT runs out then you will have a chance to get any work carried out before it runs out!

I agree and will be doing it on the 20th December, the earliest that it can be done. Expensive, I hope not, I can't see any problems at the moment. It is just the hassle of getting it done.

You can legally drive the vehicle until the expiry date of the current certificate. Whether you have worked for Saab or not, it's a fact!
Will blue in car neons with a 'kill switch' fail the MOT? Also I might change the colour of interior light in my car to blue. Does this have any legal/MOT complications?
Thanks
no it wont fail the mot. the only way they could was if they obstructed the drivers view ie you stuck em on windscreen to which if this was the case then i think you would pass on the luny bid exam

Thanks a lot buddy. Is it legal to have an interior light installed which is blue? Obviously I wouldn't have the light turned on when on the road!

there is no ruling on interior lights
