OK, our 33year old mini has decided to give us Hazards but only the passenger side !!
Was hopeing to MOT it in the next few days but wanted to know - if i remove the hazard light switch, will this be ok for MOT ? a friend who works in a
garage said if the switch is not fitted then they cant fail it ? but not sure i believe him...
Regards Andy
not needed but remove or cover the switch and tell the tester it has no hazards if he is a youngster
hmm, mot usually goes by the thing of 'if its not there it can't be tested'
not sure for definite on hazards though
I don't think you need them, my buggys 34 years old, had hazards when it was a beetle but didn't need them when I converted it to a buggy,
the falcons a X reg and it doesn't have them either

MOT manual:
quote:
Vehicles first used before 1 April 1986:
A hazard warning device is not required by Regulation, but, if one is fitted, it must be tested. The hazard warning lamp 'tell tale' may be a separate light or the same as the indicator 'tell-tale. However, it must be a flashing light.
Wow ! Cheers guys, ive got a spare cover plate so that will buy me some time to check the wiring & find out what the fault is 
Spot on...
Yup. you don't need them. Quite a few classics have them retro-fitted for the sake of safety but it's not a requirement.
If you remove the switch the indicators will not work either!
