Feb 2010 at 10:47 My mate has a Plod Omega, IIRC he found out that blue lights on a car are OK (check out how many trucks are lit up like a fairground with blue lights) as long as they do not have the capability to flash. Saying that, blue sidelights are an MOT fail as they have to be white.

my mrs borrowed my car the other week to take the kids to scunny, on the way there she was baffled as to why everybody on the motorway etc kept moving out of her way, she wasnt speeding just plodding along.but everybody cleared the way for her, it wasnt until she parked up outside her mums house an took a walk round the front of the car an the penny dropped, ive got a pair of blue led sidelights fitted. not flashers just bright an make the car highly visible.my mrs wasnt chuffed .
ive checked with the vosa at the mot station and they say provided they dont flash they are legal , but sidelights must be white to pass the mot so i shall be fitting them behind the grill !!! ive had knebhods run in to me in the past an its the usual "didnt see you " now im seen !!!!

ps would love to see the police replicas at one of the shows,can u send info as to where they can be seen pls?

Further Detailing of engine bay

New Track Rod Ends, sod of a job, but a pair to pass an mot, and nothing else, quite a result. Retail at £48 a unit (or 100 ish main dealer) got them trade for £6.12 each thats a bargain!

The MV6 Wheels are now off, and are for sale on ebay, have not posted them on here as dont have enough posts, 2 had inner edge wear on tyres (proven fault with ball joints!) pm me if interested in the wheels.

Police control unit for equipment being installed.

Thats it for now, more updates later in the week, although i have now wired in the siren and alternate headlights which was amusing.
Note, this car isnt in use on the road anylonger so dont give the usual about legality lol
