reversing lights

[TopVpowerRoadste]

Hi everyone,

I'll take my 1990 S2 trought the MOT in the coming days, but I have an issue.
The reversing lights don't work.
I have checked the bulbs, the connections and the fuse, everything is OK.
Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks,

Geoffrey

Ah! good point, never spotted that.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your useful messages.
MOT's for oldtimers is very strict in Belgium, the car needs to be as described by the manufacturer. For instance, if you replaced brake pipes by non genuine parts such as 'goodridge' or 'hel', the car will fail the MOT.

Best regards,

So Geoffrey, does this mean that there are no modifications allowed at all under the Belgian MOT regulations?

Yes, that's correct. As I don't want to remove the 'Hel' brake lines of my TVR, a garage suggested to fit new pipes on top of the 'HEL' brake lines, so that it looks genuine parts. The garage will carry out the work this week. I'll let you know if it goes through the MOT?

Salut Christian,

I visited 'Passion Engineering' http://www.passionengineering.eu/ , the TVR specialist in Belgium, its only 5 miles from my home. I have been told that my TVR would fail the MOT with 'Hel' brake pipes. I have done all I could do myself on it and my best to bleed the brake system but with very disappointing result.
As I have very little service history of the car, I've put it in this garage for a full check up, to resolve the exhaust and brake problems and for a proper tuning of the engine.
I just hope that it won't cost me too much and that it will sail through the MOT.

Best regards,

Geoffrey
