The MOT tester turned be away this morning because my wipers weren't parking (even though it's passed the last two MOTs like it!). So I've ordered the new motor, but have another query with regard to the reversing lights. Historically I know they weren't tested, but under the new MOT regulations, will they need to operate properly? Mine flicker on and off when I'm reversing.

As an aside, I've spoken to another MOT tester today, who confirmed that Diesel vehicles are not subject to a full cat emissions test, and so anyone with a de-cat front downpipe (on a diesel) shouldn't have a problem come MOT time.

Cheers,

my reverse lights flicker occasionally and it's usually to tell me that the switch has unscrewed to the point that its just making contact,2 min job mate.

Is it not just the park switch which is playing up? Much cheaper if it is.
