Should never fail on easily checkable items Huh

........but well done mate Thumbs Up!

Sometimes its always good to give the tester something easy to find, so he doesn't look too hard. Else he may have to fail it on air fresheners Roll Eyes

I wouldn't recommend commenting on AF's... TB can be a bit temperamental and Post Counts can be affected... Take it from someone who knows Roll Eyes

Oh I am sorry..

- I use this car once a week and just threw it in as the current MOT ran out. did a quick once over of lights, steering joints etc etc.. but didn't think to examine the wiper blades! - it cost me 12.50 (plus the MOT, and would have cost that either way so I am happy that they failed it on wiper blades and not anything more than £20!)
