neil82 1,008 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 as ex MOT tester I think I can honestly say that most of it is down to poor PDI and testing, most are just not set up properly and if its not that its a bulb that has been changed and the new one is not sitting correctly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
