How very annoying, I finally got round to transfering the number plates I was given for my 21st birthday (I'm 32 this year!) on to the Chimaera, got a new set made up job done. Or so I thought, I failed my MoT with "no number plate illumination" or some such thing. A quick call later and confirmation that the rear number plate should be a "rear reflective" plate and the bulb's behind it so my standard plastic ones weren't letting the light through.

Not the end of the world but in case you didn't know...you do now so when you're changing your plates don't forget.

I have yet to fail on this, and to the best of my knowledge the bulbs havent been working for 3 years.....

It really is such a stupid rule ! Any car behind you with their lights on illuminates the bloody plate anyway..........
