I have never been in the back except to clean and they have never been undone. No-one goes i the back.
May just take back seats out - then it doesn't need rear belts lol

i know for a fact they don't have cracks because i washed the fuckers on sunday and inside the wheels if you know what i mean.
The GAZ rear spring's where only a few month's old, no way they are cracked  I admit they are to short fot the car when jacked up but i fitted them to go low not comply with vauxhall. As for the headlight, dont no what they mean ? both sit fine and have good philip's bulb's fitted ?
TBH they are all minor thing's you can sort in no time, put the standard spring's on the rear, re-angle the headlight, tighten the seatbelt. Go for a re-test

take off the trim panel, the belt is bolted behind. you need a torque set to get it off. the mechanism can be taken apart and tightened

Go to a non main dealer testing station with all seat belts plugged in, any luck they wont even bother.
Sounds like there being picky badgers and looking to take you for a fool

would they have put it on the lift in order to inspect underneath? because then maybe the springs will have sat wrong as theyre so short?

That was her words. Oh and to top it off she said when you bring it back for retest we'll do the ABS recall for you.

Vauxhall are stupid as shit, they wanted to charge me £90 an hour to to find out why one of my rear light clusters wasn't working, took it to my local, was in for about 2 hours, only ended up being a dodgy fuse, and I didn't have to pay jack for it.

as its decked id imagine the rear springs will fall out when you jack it up, drop one out and check for cracks, 5 min job if that

Round here weve got 'MOTMax', they only do MOT's (for £30). If it doesnt pass you dont pay for the MOT either, so theyve got no reason to fail you on something stupid as they wont get paid

ah right, i thought the rule had changed, so that even if it did have a month on it and it failed, it would be down on the system as un-roadworthy.
i was told that too, fail = no mot as its unroadworthy
