Jeremy, Very useful - many thanks. There is no mention of reflectors constituting the rear surface of the tail lights not counting, so I should be OK on that count. As for rear light positioning, the MoT seems only to be concerned with them being symmetrically placed, and states "Note: The prec...

Well that sort of worked - it provided a link to click which is almost as good as putting the photos direct in the post - specially if you have multiple pics.

Best regards,

Ian
