Apparently soon the MOT is to include wiring, plus a few other things. (see list below) And apparently one of the things they are including amoungst other stuff is your parking brake light must be working.
I dont think mine ever has! I have an 87 defender 90. Can I ask if anyone else has a light that comes on when you apply the parking brake? There is a lamp for it on the dash console, but as I say it doesnt come on. Also I looked at my handbrake, but cant see any wires coming from it to go to the fuse box or anywhere to make a light work. I dont honestly think although as I said there is a lamp for it on my dash console, It has never had anything connected to itfrom new!
Can anyone shed any light on this? pref someone who does mot tests, and knows whats coming. Also does anyone else who has a 87 defender 90, (or about that age) have a working light when the handbrake is applied?
Other things that are going to come into it are seats must go into at least 2 possitions, so if yours are siezed in one place nows the time to sort them!
No lose wiring anywhere in the engine bay will be allowed, (you will have to cable tie all lose wires, and make sure they are well sheathed. i.e, no bare wires.
the list is in this months 'land rover international mag' (for those that haven't got it) it says: ELECTRICAL WIRING AND CONNECTIONS, DRIVERS SEAT MUST BE ABLE TO BE SECURED FORE AND AFT IN TWO OR MORE POSITIONS, TRAILER ELECTRICAL SOCKET SECURITY AND DAMAGE, TOWBAR MODIFICATION AND SECURITY, BATTERY SECURITY AND LEAKAGE, ENGINE MOUNTINGS, HEADLIGHT LEVLLING AND WASHERS FOR HID/LED HEADLAMPS, TINTED LIGHTS, NON FUNCTIONING/BROKEN SPEEDO, POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL;NO EXCESSIVE LEAKAGE, DOORS MUST BE EASY TO OPEN AND CLOSE, AND PILLARS WILL BE EXPECTED,
NOW THE WARNING LIGHTS: SEATBELT PRE-TENSIONER, MAIN BEAM, ELECTRONIC PARK BRAKE, (THE BIT I'M WORRIED ABOUT) STABILITY CONTROL, ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, AIRBAG, CHECK STEERING LOCK FUNCTIONING, CATALYTIC CONVERTER FITTED AS STANDARD.
