Hello all

I have been told that the indicators on my car, as they don't make a sound when 'on', will fail the MOT. I have also been told that is utter crap.

Does anyone have the 'official line' on this?

The 'click' is from the relay AFAIK. As long as indicators all function I wouldnt worry about it.

Actually its true. There needs to be an audible warning when the indicators are active.

Really?

MOT Guide said:
3. Check the driver's 'tell-tale' warning device for presence and operation. Note: A 'tell-tale' may be audible or visual, it is not required if one or more direction indicators on each side can be seen by the driver from the driver's seat.
