What goes in the storage bins on the seats?

When I worked abroad for a spell a Walther PPQ M2 would go there.

700 Owners who just happen to have similar little bins just keep rubbish in them until it gets turfed out once a year before MOT time!

On that score, due to CV-19, I note that as of 30 March 2020 the DVLA (or whatever it calls itself) have issued notice that cars due for MOT's after that date will get a 6 month extension.

Cars needing an MOT before that date will still require one but there are lots of caveats.

Considering the current status I fail to see the difference that the few days between now and 30 March 2020 make!!

Have you got a link to that please Bob? My Rover is due late April/early May so would be useful to check it out now.

As for the week or so of this month left, it's basically giving notice to anyone that hasn't already done so to get their cars in for MoT or potentially be off the road.

It also carries the hint that MoT centres are likely to be hit by the lockdown for 3 months and anyone with an MoT due in that time will get 3 months grace once things hopefully return to normal after 3 months. Just my guess at the thinking behind it.

As for 700 owners clearing out the cubby by the seat, that can of spray paint has been there (except for the time the seat came out briefly) since i got the car even for MoT tests!

Dave - see the separate 'Thread' I just started for the link. There's a lot of stuff in there inc pre 30 March. Bob .

At present, nothing. However, I use the driver's side one to hold trim clips, fasteners etc. when re-fixing the tailgate washer pipe.
