Dashboard lights

[WILLYx]

My car has ABS, TC, service, airbag and EML lights on my dash...

Are any a fail? If so, which and can i just take the bulbs out for the others?

I should add, i dont have any airbags left in my car. And the car is decat which i know is an MOT fail

IIRC, you can't have ANY warning lights on your dash anymore. Any lights are a failure i think. Someone else may know more.

I know airbag is a fail.

 

[WILLYx]

Is airbag liight a fail if you dont have airbags though?

 

[Typhoon]

I think not having airbags will fail on its own, regardless of the light being on.

I read with the new laws that if a warning light comes on then it's a fail if it has any of them installed. Blotting of the lights will only indicate to an mot dealer that the light never shown up on first turn and didn't extinguish. Race dash? Way out.

b****cks.

Yup.

This pretty much covers it:

How are road legal track cars gonna get away with no airbags then?

 

[kardiak]

They wont. There is one exemption for full on Rally cars that you may get away with, official docs are here: http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/repository/SN 01 2013 V1.0.pdf
