massive favour needed

[Laura]

REALLY REALLY need a massive favour off someone,

car failed its bloody MOT on its xenon, the fact it works fine untill you manually turn them off, then when you turn them back on only one works.. its a faulty balast but ill be dammed before i pay for a new one when mine is perfectly fine as i never turn it off and on again...

i just need to borrow one for one day off somone just to put it through its MOT

its a drivers side one...
anyone one that could lend me one would be a lifesaver, ill swap you over with mine for the 1 day.

Thats a rediculous reason to fail a car on an MOT. The lights work, correct??

Who the hell ever turns their lights on then off then back on again???
Was this Renault doing the MOT per chance?

 

[Poopensharten]

Whys it doing it anyway? Any reason?

 

[Laura]

yeah i know tell me about it, i tried explaining they were auto lights, when they come on they stay on untill its light again, and he was like no they have to be able to turn them off and on again...

 

[Laura]

Whys it doing it anyway? Any reason?

common problem on them, faulty balast

 

[Poopensharten]

Is it an expensive fix?

 

[Alastair.]

lol they r having a laugh

 

[Laura]

Is it an expensive fix?

whole new balast required £500 ish iirc... hense why im not getting one, just need to either borrow one xenon or 2 normal ones

 

[Poopensharten]

Ahhh right get you. That is a pain in the arse, Xenons look the buisness but it seems they are a very expensive fix when it goes tits up.

Dual optics ftw

 

[kie1an]

maybe take it somewhere else ? was this renault did you say ?

 

[Laura]

cant afford to take it anywhere else tbh, onother £55 would make it a £110 MOT with no guarentee of it passing next time either

 

[Poopensharten]

Thats a pain in the bum, cant you buy 2 nasty bulbs for cheap then change them over when you get the nod?

 

[Da]

Contact Jordan Laura, he has xenons in his 1.2 doesn't he?

 

[Laura]

not sre, i know bloor has aspare normal one as does not normal, but i either need 2 mormal ones or one xenon just for one day this week

 

[Limca]

[mx1_champ]

[bmh.01]

The ballasts are no where near that money, they're about £150 tops iirc.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Thought you could get a whole Xenon unit for £150?

 

[bmh.01]

 

[Laura]

[Laura]

[Ali]

[BIFCAIDS]
