    Afternoon all

    My current GTI failed its MOT on 2 things. I've sorted one said item out :thumbup: but need some help with the other item which was:

    "Nearside front position lamp(s) not in good working order (not working)" - yet all the lights seem to be working[:s]

    Any idea what this is about? I don't really want to have to replace the whole lamp...

    lamps

    'Position Lamps' are the sidelights, not dipped or main. it may well have have been out when it was tested but is now working again. give the lamp a tap then switch the side lights on (ignition off) and it may have stopped working again.
    For the sake of a small capless bulb which is peanuts put a new one in anyway and check the condition of the wiring and bulb holder while your there. Check all the lights again to be sure and take it back for a retest.
