^^^that's what they normally fail on.
Good idea. Got £25 off, so that's why I used the place I went to.

If the test station still fail it even once they have read the artice, tell them to phone VOSA and they will put the right. The place I took my old cup were on the phone for about 30 minutes before finally agreeing to pass it, even though the rearbrakes did hardly anything
