I have to say the examiner was good this time. He is known to be strict. I took my Peugeot Expert about a month ago and he failed it on a clip off the drive shaft gaiter. When I brought it back for retest another examiner couldn’t believe he had failed me. He said that he wasn’t even going to examine it told me to drive through and gave me the certificate

Tommy,
I have two word documents from the Fiat Ducato Manual that explains exactly in words and pictures how to adjust the handbrake and it's very easy and worked well on mine which is a 2005 model. I can email them to you if you send me a pm with your email.

MH failed MOT yesterday but good news it passed on the handbrake pulling 19. That’s a record. It failed because I did not have lights to the rear showing width. Apparently any vehicle over 2.1m needs lights showing the width. I have had the vehicle from new 2003 and never had a problem before at MOT I would have assumed that it would have built to specification. I’m getting a set of trailer lights fitted, the flexible ones
