99hjhm Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Rear high level brake light not working is not an MOT fail... What was that about lack of waterpump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clairey Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Rear high level brake light not working is not an MOT fail... What was that about lack of waterpump?water pump is shot got no heat inside and car goes above normal temp and flashes a red light at me lolas for the brake light my boyfreind said that to him as its his cus whos doing the mot and he said if its there it has to be working but if i was to put some tape over it then it would pass but if its there and fitted from factory it has to work which is fair enough shes nearly there nows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) water pump is shot got no heat inside and car goes above normal temp and flashes a red light at me lolas for the brake light my boyfreind said that to him as its his cus whos doing the mot and he said if its there it has to be working but if i was to put some tape over it then it would pass but if its there and fitted from factory it has to work which is fair enough :o You are driving it with no water pump? Remember the temp sensor is away from the block so the actual temp of the important bits will be considerably higher given there is no water flow!I failed an MOT for 3rd brake light for the reasons above, even though it was covered with tape Edited January 5, 2010 by Defcon5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clairey Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 The MOT garage is a 2min drive away, the car doesnt go up to temp in that time. But i found out from trial and error that the water pump isnt doing its job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
