As crazymac said. Hazards and Fog light are not compulsory for your vehicle, nor rear belts.

Not sure about middle seat, but just remove for the test and refit afterwards.

No lap belt on the middle seat of my S3 and never nad a problem with mot in last 10 years  :-.

Amma:
The way I understand it is that inwards facing rear seats are exempt from requiring seatbelts. This also means that there is a loophole that means that children, of a height that would normally need a booster seat, do not need to use one due to the fact that there is no seatbelt to secure it with.

It can get rather confusing.

Why do you not just fit a static type lapbelt in the centre at the front?

 ;)

Mine still has the lapbelt in the centre even though I removed the seat quite some time ago!

cooper956:
i thought you couldnt put kids in sideways faceing seats anymore??? with or without seatbelts why dont the center seats need them is it cus in a crash the center passenger can hold on to the gear stick? or maybe the center window piller on leafer stops them flying out seems daft  :roll:

muddyjames:
when I had my s3 I took out the non return coiling seat belts from the sides and put re coiling ones in and put the non coiling one into the middle so all the seats had 3 point belts. the back benches never had any seat belts. Also the fog light didnt work properly ie turn it on the light in the lamp went off and vice versa. They said not to worry as it wasnt needed. that was a 83 s3.

If nothing is there they cant test it!!!
