Sure how could you steer your car with that?

You'll be fine.
They love the rustic look.

Tuck at €50 note in it and wink at the tester and tell him to check the belt clip. Sorted.

It could fail. It's damaged quite badly.

They're easy to take off. Switch it with a non damaged one if you've access to another car. 17 mm spanner.

Will take you about 10 minutes and save you €28.

I don't wanna know what happened that

If it does fail it should be classed as visual, you go off and get it replaced. Drive back, they come out to look at it and off you go. No retest fee.

It won't save you €28






Because visual re-inspections are free.

Just cut it off with a bolt cutters, if he can't find it he can't fail you on it. Job done.

Would that work with a whole car?

Throw the keys at the tester and tell him it's somewhere in the car-park before running off :P

Sir Osis of Liver.

Baling twine is your friend OP.

As a thought experiment, let's say we said "yes it will fail" - what did you plan to do about it before the test?

O.A.P

I have passed 7 D.O.E s with the same problem on the passenger side, maybe it don't have to look nice it just needs to work,

nothing! just curious is all!!

greasepalm

accidental release is how i look at it and playing with someones life is ok ?,nct and D.O.E.s rules at times are laughable.what comebacks if in accident and insurance involved.

they pass tyres with deep cracks on sidewalls whereas we say they are about to part company.

Frosty McSnowballs

Oh that's fcuked!

Ya need a new roof boss!

No need to be hysterical for god's sake.

It just looks like the casing fell off, the clipping mechanism is inside the case and if that's undamaged then it should still work as the OP claims it does.

Sure get it fixed if they tell you do, but if it's not a danger/risk then there's no need.

donegal__road

check your vertical headlight alignment OP. They failed me on that 2 weeks ago and I thought the lights were fine.

KERSPLAT!

Black electrical tape, be grand!

Zak Flaps

Failed, but only on a visual. Nothing to do with the seat belt. Just need a new tyre.

That made me smile - Last week I had a DOE was worried about a near the mark tyre. Went to a tyre dealer to check it:

Me "Is this legal?"
Tyre guy "Sure"
Me "So it'll pass a test"
Tyre guy sucks teeth "A test?"

Anyway it failed on side light bulb - back for a visual.

Yeah it looks like its just the cover thats massing, not really a safety issue.

This thread is progressing in a ludicrously logical and sensible manner. Which is good, like.

I now want to know what sort of car it is and how the cover got broken. Intriguing.







I don't, I was just being nice.
