    Default MOT tomorrow - EML

    My car is booked in for MOT tomorrow morning and it's suddenly hit me that I read somewhere that EML is a failure now? Mine is just for a glow plug. Is it true about the light being a failure?

    If take the car for a run it'll stay out for a while but will they let the car cool before testing it?

    How sure are you? I can't see it mentioned on the VOSA site only the ESC light, power steering light, abs light, airbag light, tpms etc

     Main beam ‘tell-tale’
     Battery (including batteries for electric or hybrid vehicles)
     Electrical wiring and connectors
     Trailer electrical socket security and damage
     Operation of 13-pin trailer electrical sockets using an approved trailer socket tester
     Operation of the steering lock (where fitted) including that malfunction warning is not displayed for an electronic steering lock
     Electronic power steering malfunction warning indicating a fault
     Electronic parking brake control and malfunction indicator lamp
     Electronic Stability Control (ESC) components, including the switch (if fitted) and malfunction warning
     Brake fluid warning lamp illuminated or inoperative
     Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS)
     SRS components including airbags, seat belt pre-tensioners, seat belt load limiters and SRS malfunction warning lamp
     Engine mountings
     Speedometer
     Indirect vision devices (where they replace obligatory mirrors)
