You will need to fiddle around with them so that they are off long enough for the MOT and then afterwards when you get 5 minutes, cut the plugs off and make a nice job of bullet connectors the wires together. This will solve the issue.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Thankfully it passed its MOT yesterday with not even 1 advisory. I am guessing the tester was not too vigilant haha - but yeh I still want to solve it.I read that apparently the internal Peugeot bulletin about this said to cut off the connectors and solder them together. But some say this increases the resistance and could potentially trigger them. Will look at ordering some of these connectors. Are they just as easy to fit? |

Soldering will not increase the resistance over a plug in connector.________________________________________ '90 1.6 205 GTi, '98 306 GTi-6 |

You need connectors, as that way you can remove the seats easily as you say.Some decent bullet connectors will solve the problem for sure. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Thanks for the tip. Think I will go with the connectors to start with. Sounds the easiest and best option. |
