MOT Fail
#1

The Hazards work fine, perfectly normal speed. The indicators however flash at twice the normal speed. I have replaced the flasher unit but it's still the same. On closer inspection it looks as though the wings originally had side repeaters fitted but they have been removed, would this cause the increased indicator speed?
I only have a few days left to sort this out or i have to pay for another MOT.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for your quick reply, i also have my first windscreen replacement to do tonight!!
On a good note they didn't find any rot as i've spent alot of time welding and sealing.
I can't wait to get it back on the road, instant smile.

Just checked, first used/registered 1st April 1986, side repeaters required.
If not required, you need a 2x15w flasher and make sure the bulbs in the indicators are 15w

Depending on the age of the vehicle it is a requirement to have side repeaters, think it's 1986 © reg..
Ummm, yeah, something like that. Can't remember 100% but it was either '86 or '87.

Too many posts just die off when the problem has been resolved, it would be nice to hear what was successful to tie it up.....
