Re message 1 - I suppose with all of the inclement weather out there - mud flaps are a necessity?

Oh and did you know that the MOT now check tread depth on your tyres, they will be checking on thickness of paint on the body work next, definatly a renault braodway for a hassell free driving in the TRNC

Don't forget the red line around the number plate - major failure if that is missing!



Clean the engine so that the stick with the mirror on it can work properly or you end up arguing about engine numbers and when it was you had the engine changed!

Who fined you, the Police on a roadside checkpoint or the MOT station?

Went 2 weeks ago arrived at 09.50 left at 10.00. I had no checks made whatsoever and I have a tow bar on my vitara. They did have a quick look to see if I had mudflaps just remembered. Didnt even check my new emissions paperwork.

Think you should post where you took your car. Might just go there too!
