MOT failure....:(

Recommended Posts

Morning all.

 

Alas i have sad news, my c failed it's MOT yesterday as the o/s headlight adjuster is broken and the light is pointing up. the little bracket which snaps into the back of the light casing has got the 4 'wings/lugs' snapped off and cannot be srewed in, so therefore the reflector cannot be held and so flaps around. i tried to take the washer out and it fits in but loose. the original washer seems fat and it's hard to get the part in, even hardewr now without the lugs.

do i need a whole new headlight or can i just get the small plastic bit and put it in. I've asked around but only been quoted loads for brand new lights from stealers...

p.s. got 7 working days to get it sorted and put it through the MOT again for a partial MOT and payment.

 

if i were to tape/glue on the broken bit to fix it, it should work properly and is this enough to pass the MOT, and it would be adjustable but not perfect?? any ideas? or anyone got a spare o/s headlight for a '94 model??
