Everything will pass, except, im guessing the Airbag wiring, ecu and bags

yeah not too bad then but surely if i have removed it all they shouldnt test for it? i was told they cant test airbags anyways?

[Eldridge]

air bag shouldn't be an issue!

nor any of the other stuff you say really,

do you have any warning lights on the dash?

do your lights still work? if they do it should be fine

[York1366]

Yeah thats what i thought mate

no there is no warning lights on the dash

all other things i.e exterior lights, wipers etc work so i didnt think it should be a problem.

[Ashleyp]

if theres no air bag warning lights you have no problems

will fail though if youve left any un-used seat belts in

ive removed rears and going to remove fronts once i get my harnesses will that be ok for mot?

yep, aslong as you remove all seat belts that ain being used, and the harnesses are secure :y:

[St_James]

should go through fine, even if the airbag light was on on the dash, it wouldnt fail. They can only advise.

[Ashleyp]

rule on seatbelts is

if there are seatbelts, but no seats - its a fail
if theres seats but no seatbelts - its a fail

Depends what buckle type they have and if theyre fixed to secure fasening places where original belts were fastened.

want to know if i can remove the sunroof and weld a plate in its place?

also how much can i remove on the wiring i.e alarm etc....

would also like to put the rad fan on a switch is this ok for mot?

[Sparco_Tom]

as long as the sunroof isnt unsafe when welded up, you can remove any un-needed wiring, its fine to run the fan on a switch

spot on and so the fun begins :) anything else you could advise me to do?

[Sparco_Tom]

rather than welding up the sunroof, just get a lightweight rallye one instead ;) mines only around 2.5-3kgs
weight save everywhere,
get very stiff dampers and springs
bigger torsion bars
bigger anti roll bar
light weight wheels
big brakes
cage
lightweight buckets and harnesses
have some fun
