Thanks for all the information! Found a reliable MOT tester who knows all the rules and know what to look for. Also didn't take offence when I explain the light situation. Thank you all

Just an update on this. Got a cobra exhaust which replaced every part I had an issue with. Got the resonated version and has a nice grumble to it but which being too "asbo"

@Rooted Sorry still pretty new to the car. Is that a pretty standard sleeve? assuming the cobra system you posted above being a cat back would mate with the sleeve area you linked above? Do you think the cobra would come with a new sleeve? sorry for all the questions. I have seen a few people posting about the cobra system and it seems alright for the price, is there any benefit going resonated or non-resonated? I'm assuming for normal driving, resonated gives a more OEM exhaust note and feel

Might be a bit of a long shot but looking for some tips and advice source an exhaust or reliable welders in the south west closest to Bristol as possible. 2011 VRS with 2 exhaust leaks. Attached diagram with leak locations clearly not the first person with this issue as they have been bandaged in the past but are leaking again 1 right at the start of the back box - most pressing problem to fix 1 on the cat side of the exhaust that connects to the mid section. - hopefully will survive till I can find a welder or someone breaking a mk2 VRS hatch The pressing matter is the leak at the back box as this is causing an MOT failure. My local garage cannot source this section. My next solution is going down the welding route. However I can image this would be fine to get a new back section made up but the repair to the front section of the exhaust may be more difficult. Excuse the sporadic info dump but I'm looking for some help and advice on what people suggest is the best action forward and ideally not having to fork out for a £1k system. It's literally a run around for the Mrs and the occasional b road basher when I'm bored of my barge

wasn't aware of this. Yep every other bulb on the car works fine. I am wondering if it's worth turning the DRL off with the switch

How was your MOT tester when you explained it to home? Concerned they might think I'm a d**knead and pick up on every little thing on retest

They mk2 doesn't have front fogs, it's got DRL's in place of them

As the title says, got an Mk2 VRS that's had position lights inoperative as an MOT failure. From research and other forums this is referring to the blue bulbs which aren't connected to anything correct? Where do I stand. If I remove the bulbs for the retest will it pass? What can be done in future. Is there a splice in kit for these. What have others done in the past. Lastly can I get the original failures overturned and how do I tell the MOT without sounding like d**khead

Thanks for the responses!

I'd rather avoid having to put too much force into it. From past experience most will move when you apply a little bit of body weight behind it but these seem to be stuck. Hence why I wanted to know if there is any tell-tale signs of them being electrically folding and then I could troubleshoot that thank you for your input though

Hi, So recently the mrs has picked up a mk2 vrs and I'm the sucker that picked up the maintenance for it. the car has heated and electrical adjustable wing mirrors but unsure how they fold in. There is some slight play in them but as soon as you try to manually fold them in they feel rock solid. I cannot find a switch or button within the cab to operate them either. Would appreciate if anyone has any guidance I can follow to identify or troubleshoot this problem, please.
