So you have a brake light that wouldn't go off, an airbag light that wouldn't go off, illegal hids, too low, wheels too big, the tracking is off, no tax, obscured number plate, obscured vision at the rear, no back box That car is a bloody risk on the road. The psv inspector is right. That car would never pass the nct as it is. Your solicitor already told you what to do but you aren't mentioning you said it? They will not let you drive that car back, get a tow truck and get it legal.
bear1 wrote: » Yep and he'd have to tax it.

bear1 wrote: » The kind which will remove the light bulb for the airbag. There is not a hope in hell you'd sort that out in an hour Tracking alone would take the bones of 30mins as I suspect the camber is probably fecked too.
Daaryl wrote: » Taking out the hids in 5-10mins job, fixing the exhaust is about 20mins and welding a backbox onto it, Raising the car up is another 15-20mins, that's them problems sorted right away, Then have to bring it to a auto electrician to get the lights on the dash turned off..

bear1 wrote: » Riiight. So how did you intend to pass the nct with the airbag light on?
tuxy wrote: » I'm unclear what advice you are look for Daaryl. You are already in contact with your solicitor he will have better advice than anyone on here can offer.

bear1 wrote: » Ah come on Daaryl. I don't know you from Adam but you are spouting nonsense. So randomly one day the ecu realised there was no airbag and the light went on. From your opening post you neglected so much. You were driving with a brake light constantly on, do you know know how dangerous that is?
Senna wrote: » In fairness, airbag lights come on for many reasons other than no airbag, I had a car that brought on an airbag light because the seat runner had frayed a wire that connected to the seatbelt. Airbags are more complicated than just airbag = yes or no.
bear1 wrote: » But surely the moment the airbag was removed the ecu would have noticed no signal being received and flick the warning light on.
Senna wrote: » Who says there no airbag?? OP stated the airbag light was on. But AFAIK if airbag light is on, it will not deploy in an accident.
