Did the tester actually spray water on the windscreen in order to test the wiper speed? If not, he cocked up there too.
Good luck with the re test.  |

Yeah he did keep the screen wet, I've just tested it again and got 37 sweeps a minute. regulation is 45 a minute. Any ideas on how to speed it up? I'm using the higher angled drive in the gearbox, can't remember the figure, possibly 135 degrees. Will the car pass with the 90 degree angle box because surely this will mean it will sweep faster?
As for the handbrake, I just had a read of the regs and I guess you are refering to Annex 2 of section 6 "The specified area" as to why the lever is exempt in the Dax?
As for the full beam failure, the relay was sticky. Tried it off the car with a 12v power supply and it hesitated to operate. Replaced it and lights are now good.
My big concern now is why the battery just couldn't cope. The alternator is punching out over 13v so I'm wondering if the the battery is knackered, even though it was new only a year ago. Guess it hasn't seen much work other than starting and running in the driveway. Any ideas?
