Not strictly a Retro question but there are some knowledge people on here so thought it worth the ask.
I’ve got an R53 Cooper S, I changed the clock pack today for the ‘chrono’ pack so it gives me a Speedo next to the tacho at the steering wheel and other gauges in the middle pod rather than the speedo being there.
The new clock pack is from a later model which is brake pad wear indicators, which mine does not have. As a result, because there’s no indicator on the pads or wiring in the car, the or wear warning (amber) light is illuminated.
I can’t reset it in the car as the car doesn’t have the facility to do so!
Now, this light isn’t actually telling me anything about the car as there’s nothing plugged into it. I’d happily leave it as it is. But would that fail an MOT? If so, I’m going to have to open the main gauge pod up and try and bridge the offending pin on the circuit board which is a bit fiddly to say the least!
Any mot testers able to advise on whether I should make the effort or will be ok leaving it as it is?
