Title: MOT
Post by: TDi90 on August 04, 2009, 19:21:47

Hi all,

My landy went for an MOT and failed.
apparently not sweeping the screen adequately. its a D plate land rover and the wipers start at around 45 degrees and sweep accross and back to the 45 degree position. this leaves a spot of around 2" in the middle of the screen that is not being swept. never before have i been picked up for this and i thought it is normal for land rovers of that age (D PLATE) to not a) park at the bottom of the scrren like a td5 and B) that there is an unswept area of around 2".

Can i appeal?

Rob

Sounds a bit heavy. Can you fit the later type blades? That might improve the area covered.
