MOT

john ( snipped-for-privacy@nowhere.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

I usually watch my cars being MOT'd and I've never seen the testers check the remote adjustment, just the actual alignment. I think the nominal alignmen on the Civic is set in the conventional way (screw adjusters on the lights) and the remote is a movement from here.

That assumption is correct. It doesn't matter if the adjuster works or not for the MOT test. The aim has to be within the specifications at the time of testing.

Visit The MOT Forum

Assuming that adjuster motor worked, but the alignment was off - would the average tester set the adjuster to the highest position (ie, as though no load in the rear of the car) and then adjust the aim?

Just wondered :S

Great thanks :)
