Testers manual update

I see rear fog lamps don't need a check now when checking the 13 pin trailer socket

Someone will probably receive an award for sorting it out 😋

i gave up failing the fogs years ago,we had 3 tester harnesses all doing the same thing and after assorted messages feedback(remember em asking us to let em know which motors were affected?)and getting zero in the way of guidance-cos it clearly werent the bloody motors now was it-i just switched every light on the car on and THEN plugged the tester in,are they all flickering or at the very least showing signs of life?pass the fooker....

entirely correct.what are we told for cpd/tqi/site checks etc?see what the problems/weak spots are.learn from them going forward.if no one learns from their fookups then the fookups continue surely?a high spot for me was a guy id failed it on fog,came in the following day with his(fooking huge) caravan on the back.see,they work fine,youre some sorta **** you are and thats what im gonna be telling everyone.this just after another wed failed being tested by a sparky and given a clean bill of health with us picking up the tab for said sparky.it werent till i got 3 cars in to show the boss(2 of em with factory fit 13 pin and none of em more than 6mnths old!)all showed fog faults and at that point it HAS to be the equipment all 3 of which was approved by the ministry.didnt they bring another notice out a while back saying"they might be flickering like fook but thats ok"or similar?bunch of wankers and many years too late for us to stop losing punters to the moodys who got round the problem by deathing em out to begin with which is what we ALL shud have done.dickheads that dont know how to tow or are dragging tons more than they shud caused the accidents not flickering tail lights as for the corrosion criteria?that belongs in the fooking comedy club sorry,rant over

You're not likely to see this as an update me thinks.


I’ve never understood this (in MTS >>Suspension >> Shock absorbers>> advisory......) “Light misting of oil or has limited damping effect”
and I remember ‘feeding-back’ (over 3 yrs ago?!*?) that it didn’t make sense.

Guess what I saw today (in live MTS), I saw the replacement-advisory “Light misting of oil” and nothing else.

At last!

I look forward to seeing that (embarrassing piece of text/alteration) appear in some future ‘updates/changes’ notification. Fat chance eh.

Remember guys, if you don’t like it, fcuk off, it’s their ball, they set the rules!
Perhaps I’ve just brought the scheme into ‘disrepute’ have I?

Ah well....

the main time you notice shox now is when you drive thru the rollers and all of a sudden youre bloody seasick!still at least i can stop typing advise like shocks inop ####DANGEROUS!!!!!#### now....

ever sit and think that the guys writing out the moody tickets were the ones doing it right to begin with?ditto smoke tests.....
