It might do on some cars, but not on 300's! I'd be taking it somewhere else

It will probably go somewhere else when ready. This place is £45 for a pass or £25 for a fail and the extra £20 for a retest within 14 days. As I knew it was going into storage for the F7 swap and wont be ready for a few months £25 was better than the usual ~£50.

Ive had two 300 on lowering blocks and theyve both passed freely.
Ive had to argue front lowing springs the first time round, but they went through the second time fine.
MOT testers are a queer breed.

They are.

If that was all it had failed on I may have said something, but seeing as he handed over an essay (I think he used a treasury tag rather than a staple to hold it all together) I let it slide.
Does anyone know how to solve my horn query?

Theres obviously something missing man, but I cant remember what should be there.
Im sure someone'll pop up in the morning to explain.

No worries.

On the Beemer it is just a small peg on a spring. I would imagine this would be similar, but I cannot even see where it would sit!

If someone could whip off their wheel and take a pic I would be much obliged.

There's 2 spring loaded points that stick out that don't appear to be there. I took my wheel off last weekend as I had some dashboard trouble. Just above the steering collumn, do you see two points? Thats what your horn ring rubs on.

Thank you Speedy88!

I'll have to take another look at mine now I know what to look for. Cheers!
