Though I'm not too sure about what to do about the lights. I'm pretty sure they are HID from factory, and not aftermarket.
Lack of squirty water would probably raise some suspicionCould call their bluff and just fit the tops of pop up washers to the bumper with double sided sticky tape so it looks like they're there
thats all new BMWs frigged then.High Intensity Discharge (HID) and LED dipped beam headlamps (whether original fitment or after-market) mustbe fitted with a headlamp washing system
The rules are in place to ensure UK cars with hids dont dazzle other users. Nothing to do with LHD. Dirty headlights or headlights with heavy loads will dazzle more than clean headlights (due to washers) and self levelling headlights. Hence the UK has rules for this.
They work when driving and before the dirt dries.Apart from the fancy Volvos and the old Fords with the headlight wipers, have you ever seen the headlight washers from a car actually wash a dirty headlight? I’ve had many with washers and they just spray onto the headlight and it runs straight off, the headlight is just as dirty as it was before.

My 2019 X5 has LED headlights and no washers at all
LED don't require anything different to standard bulbs for MOT
2000 Lumens threshold. Not a clue if that applies here and/or how that's measured so probably waved on through lol
My UK freelander 2 has no kph markings on the speedo either. I first noticed it crossing the border at ravensdale and looked down to see how much over I was lol.
@Big Pimp seen that myself when on the search for answers and something to do with the bulb being under 2000lumen. How the feck an mot tester gona know that lol
Unless it's really obvious in brightness? But no way of testing it?
Subaru Forester MOT spec.
I had to us duck tape on the bonnet as the ceramic coating meant masking tape wouldn’t stick. And the speedo stickers look ridiculous.
Retest booked for tomorrow in Mallusk. Fingers crossed I get someone who’s sound. View attachment 311332View attachment 311333View attachment 311334
Yeah they look so stupid. The screen is at an angle so was impossible to do a good job. If the examiner is a different height than me then the speeds won’t line up at all.The laughing like emoji just isn't enough for those Speedo stickers
I haven’t passed yet. They still might tell me to bugger off.This is brilliant and testament to the fact that an MOT only validates a vehicles roadworthiness at the time of the test. The dogs in the street know that those washer pipes will be gone within hours of a pass.
