How the hell can he do that ????
1, Fog Lights are not a "Must Have" for the MoT....
2, If they are fitted, then they must be working..

He said something about them being fitted so needing to be working, I said there arent any foglights and he babbled on about the switch being two stage so to turn on the rears you had to turn the fronts on and loose wiring... I ignored him.

To be honest I think he was just trying to get back at me for charging him for a wheel refurb cos they kerbed my wheel.

If you had the 2 button switch fitted, front and rear fogs, then yes, he could issue the advisory.....but he must be really anal.....

My Touring went through 3 MOT's with no front fogs, but still the twin switch. 3 different garages, therefore 3 different testers - none of them ever mentioned front fogs or lack of them.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

no it was a one button switch. press once for rears, twice for both, and again to turn it off. (it wasnt an e30, was a mazda xedos)

And yes he was being anal lol.
