Garage

Reversing light is stuck on, took it to the garage. Going to cost me £126 (inc.labour) for new switch, and some kind of gearbox thing. Got the MOT saturday aswell:dapprove:

MOT doesnt require a reverse light. £126 for a switch!!!!! lol

Heck that is expensive.

I had that problem with my mk1 RT. I just took my reverse bulbs out and ignored it. Had two MOT's with it being like this and still got through no bother.

The other thing was a rear gear box mount, does that sound like something?

i hope £126 quid includes the rear GB mount, otherwise i'd take ur car elsewhere pal!!

 

[lanky]

Yeah its all included, my mum knows someone there , and she got it down to £103.??

True, but if you've got a light fitted to your car, it has to work for the MOT iirc.

My switch broke on my VX and passed... I asked many garages and they simply dont test it.

I don't know what this mount is but it needed it, don't know if its to do with the light problem or not.

Fair enuff - wasn't sure tbh. I'm sure I heard that somewhere before though, maybe for spotlights and stuff like that.
