Could be just a dead full beam element in the bulb, unlike many modern vehicles where the dip stays on when you switch to main on old landys the dip goes out when you switch to main. Result no light that side.

Cable ties, no problem.
Rear wiper, if you can get it going is probably the best. If not, remove it completely.
Headlights will need to be working properly, unless the tester is very negligent.

I took the rear wiper off years ago as I built storage into the back.

I love to slag them off to wind people up, and i used to hate the scanias with a passion and actually took my current job as there were no scanias, then 1 year later 30 scanias turned up! but 5 years on the euro6 dafs have been a total let down, parts spend and reliablilty is horrific, yet the scanias have been good, far from perfect but way way more reliable than the euro6 dafs.
I am told the current generation dafs are meant to be very good.

I drive an 06 Scania 270 from time to time and it’s ok. Eats front airbags but then it might be the way it’s driven :rolleyes:
 
Also just to check if your vehicles MOT has run out - you are allowed to drive it to an MOT centre right?

I had an interesting one the other night. Cruising along an unlit wooded road, bunged the hibeams on, no lights at all! Very quickly switched back to dipped. Tried it again (why!!??), and full beans worked fine. Only did it once.
It did remind me I needed to make a sacrifice to Lucas, God of Darkness.

That will be the light switch on its last legs, change it now before you lose the lights for good (usually on an unlit road at night in the middle of nowhere)

You are providing it is pre booked, you can also do it if not Taxed again providing it is pre booked..

however on both occasions the vehicle must be covered by insurrance
