Re the almost MOT headrest failure…..
Having checked everything beforehand I drove to the mot station without concern. That is, until the screen washer was checked! How could it not work for heavens sake? But a fail was looming.
The tester, a good sort, then looked at the screen and noticed it was a drop down. He told me to drop it and since the car then no longer had a windscreen then for testing purposes the washer was not an issue.
To be honest the tester seemed interested in the screen mechanisms. As he explained, working on anything but a modern car was a breath of fresh air for him
