| Dan, been a while gaining the experience to allow an 'educated & enlightened' response but I can now tell you that yes the MOT testers manual lays down the law for MOT's - the chap I went too specifically mentioned section 1, he states that this is the bible in the eyes of the law and definitely over rides anything that an unfamiliar Police Officer may attempt to lay on you.
If anybody in the County Durham area is looking for a good guy that knows his eggs & regs then I'd recommend SNC in Darlington.
cheers
