fred Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 No, as long as the door opens - inside handle and out (safety thing) all is good - My Foresters N/S window stopped working 3 years ago - no hassles KruJoe and hennabm 2
KruJoe Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 No, I've never seen windows checked, either. fred 1
gadgetgricey Posted October 21, 2015 Author Posted October 21, 2015 Great news. I vaguely remember there was a new test where everything that was installed on the car had to still be there and working, Cheers
Tamworthbay Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Only if it's testable, so if you have a 50s car that never had seat belts it won't fail but if they were there originally they have to work. hennabm 1

Hands up anyone who still has a 100% working car, every last gizmo and doofer? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?Yes, the 2cv and fiat- but they have very little in the way of electrics anyway. Actually the 2cv is out, the fuel gauge gave up the ghost at the weekend. So that leaves the pinnacle of electrical reliability being a 1980's fiat. Go figure! Barry Cade and Pillock 2

richardmorris Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Actually the doors need to be openable from the inside. So if the handle is broken leave the window open so the tester can use the exterior handle. If the window doesn't open as well, THEN you're stuck.

barrett Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I've tried the open window thing and it doesn't wash, sadly, even in a car with no roof. Boo

Door handle of the xantia broke on the way to the mot before chance to fix it, left window open and all ok. Perhaps a lenient tester?
