Hi fellow members, I reside on the Essex coast.
.
I wonder if a member could help me please.
The retest for my 2008 model runs out tomorrow.
However, my testing station has advised that it needs a new clockspring + other parts in order to remove flashing airbag led.
I have removed F2 (Airbag fuse) and now led remains ON (not flashing).
I intend to source replacement parts at a later date, but until then I need to extinguish this led in order to obtain my mot.


I'd appreciate help please.

You need to put effort into fixing the faults not in finding ways to get an illegal MOT!

Thanks for your reply, the only problem is I have a deadline that runs out tomorrow.

I have to agree with Gel. Take a deep breath and just accept that it’s going to fail it’s MOT and you’re going to have to take another deep breath and pay to get your car road legal again.

I suspect your insurance could be declared void too if you had an accident - despite an apparent "pass" at MoT

You could remove the LED?
