side repeaters

[TBM1397]

hey folks.. just wondering if not having side repeaters is an m.o.t fail?

for cars made after 1985 (or something similar) it is, yes.

when i had to get 1/2 cup ready for the road, side repeaters had to go on.

some mot garages are a bit lapse and won't pick up on it, so you may be ok.

1986, i was wrong

Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986
These must be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each side.
Instead of a separate lamp, the side repeater might be part of the front direction indicator if it includes a wraparound lens.
Lamps incorporating a side repeater are marked either with an 'E' mark in a circle or an 'e' mark in a rectangle above which is the number 5.
c. the flashing rate
Note: it may be necessary to run the engine when checking the flashing ratec. does not flash 60 to 120 times per minuted. that every direction indicator emits amber light, except vehicles first used before 1 September 1965 where both front indicators may be white and both rear indicators red
d. does not show light of the appropriate colour

Now the 5 front indicator wraps around the corner slightly, hence this could be classed as a all on one front/side repeater

I've got away with that one before!!

as tarmac trasher says the 5's does wrap around a bit.. and also heard that as long as you can view it from all angles it may be allright.. i can only try.

convered in my post, which i nicked from an mot site.... the need a marking on the lense, which i don't think they have. try it, but don't be surprised if the mot tester is thorough and spots it.
