Fog Lamps

In news:L0Sei.1047$ snipped-for-privacy@newsfe1-win.ntli.net, Adrian Ford wittered on forthwith;

IIRC the fog lamp requirement was 1980ish.

From a brief google (shame on you ;-) ) the following appears;

---------- My 1972 Landrover Series 2A does not have a rear fog light fitted and never has. The MOT Station has failed it because of this - are they right?

According the the Testers manual a rear fog lamp is only mandatory for vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1980. So it would seem that your Testing station is incorrect in this instance. Quote them the Testers Manual, section 1.1 page 4 under the heading information. Hope this helps. MOTT.

----------

I daresay a little more googling should confirm it, in case the rules have changed (which I doubt).

Pre 1962, you don't even have to have amber indicators - a unit which flashes the side and stop light will do (and yes, I have tested tis - and the MOT man eventually had to admit that I was correct)
