Hartage 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2009 The early cars did not all have side repeaters on them, I have had at least 3 323i's and none of them had side indicators on them. I fitted 1 car with them but only because i replaced a guard that had them on. I think the laws on this are " what was originally fitted to the car" same as not needing a high stop tail light before 01 01 1990 My 2 cents! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted December 1, 2009 The guy is talking total rubbish. Direct him to Page 4-5-1 of his WOF inspection manual. 5. A vehicle may be fitted with one or two side-facing lamps on each side. Note "may", and not "must". 5. A vehicle is fitted with more than two side-facing lamps on each side of the vehicle. You are not required to have side markers. If you do, you can only have a max of 2 on each side. If they are fitted, they must work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave@nz 11 Report post Posted December 1, 2009 Hi, If you are failed on something unusual ask the accessor to show you where in the WOF manual it mentions that item, they have to show written proof From the WOF manual or pass the wof. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tcbaurpower 5 Report post Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) When you have fixed everything else just go back and talk to the technician. It isn't wasting anyones time, he is just making sure your car is safe and should understand if he has made an error. It seems to be a simple issue.
