I assume you mean guard or shield? Plate has an entirely different meaning.
I don't believe is, mine has passed without it's noddy plastic undertray. Why not remove it?
no no the splash plate behind the front discs....
So you mean a dust shield? Or rarely they're called back-plates or disk guards.
I don't recall a corroded or missing one was a failure. Best ask your local garage!
they will let me know at the mot on monday...no doubt
Not an MOT failure because it is non-structural.
They are there to stop small stones getting stuck between pad and disk actually (IMHO). The rear ones on my Astra H are utterly moth-eaten but are never mentioned on the MOT.
My car passes every year with a bulb warning light on the dash lit up!
good to hear
That does depend on the type and age of the car.
what is it warning you about though ?.
there is a loose nut behind the wheel...tee hee
well it passed yesterday...just needed a track rod end...mot miracle...not bad for a 2007
...and 120,000 miles on original clutch
a wummin would have it worn out years ago...wummin have no mechanical sympath....none
