Dose any know wether or not Rota GTR drifts, with slightly streched tyres will go through?

Don't see why not as long as the tyres are legal

What happens if you fail the re test do you get another 3 weeks to sort it?

You can apply as many times as you like within 21 days of the date of the full test

Car failed yesterday on a few things, but one was the rear middle seat belt jammed (it jammed while getting the car ready for mot, fantastic!) Could I just remove the belt as I never use the middile seat and always have the armrest down?

You'd need to remove both the belt and clicker inner thingy (or stuff it back under the seat where it cant be found) and you should be grand

You sure dc? I thought they had the attitude of if there's a seat there has to be a belt...could be wrong though it might be a risky one getting rid of the belt.

Seatbelts are good fun, basically its only needs 2 rear belts, but many examiners work on if theres a seat thers a belt.

Basially if its there it has to work, removing a ce3ntre belt shouldn't be a problem, if it is, speak to the manager before you leave.

Aye you are right, but in this case if he keeps the centre part down and has the other 2 belts as normal they might not pull him, we'll see.

Does the car have to have its original cats back on? Or is a sports cat suffice?

Shall either give this a try, or nick someone elses rear seat.

Still seems to be one of these grey area's. Likelyhood you'll get a way with it

Not much too say, petrol engines, if it left the factory with a cat, it needs one

My car passed MOT last week without the CAT..

I think that pre 1980 type stuff - no test. 1981-2003 or something emmisions based test (on a sliding scale) 2004-current needs to have a cat. Something along those lines anyway.
