Engine Oil qwestion?

if it is dangerous to other road users or pedestrians no! but if the wing is secure and with no sharp edges it will pass, if it is flapping around etc and liable to cause or be dangerous to other road users then it will fail & all this depends on your mot tester !
best thing to do is secure it with anything that will keep it from being loose & the tester will more than likely advise the item on the relevant form.hope this is of some help as all mot stations differ in there attitudes.

mustang 02 brakes?

Hi there, In a nutshell "yes" however doesn't mean that mere mortals like us cannot carryout out a durable repair which will "pass"
The wing itself is not a structural part of the car but does fix to the part which is structural ie inner wing. If it only needs refixing because spot welds have come away then all you need is self tapping screws which when fixed through a pre dilled hole, self tapping screws grip the parts together and help secure parts. A good and fair tester should pass and advise this if spotted during an MOT some really hard testers may fail but really they need to back up there decision using the testers guide.
At the same time if the wing is heavily corroded then no matter how many screws you use it may never be suitably repaired for the purpose of the test.
Best advice I would give is to take to a station that offers a free retest with no time limit, have it tested and see how it goes.
MOT test stations have base guide lines they have to stick too regards tests and retest procedures but they can offer retests with no time limits as long as these base guidelines are adhered too.
Maybe double dutch and hope it helps.
Cheers
Have a Great New Year.
ps How the wing is fixed originally can be another problem too, however you decide to refix wing! Good Luck

How will the car be affected without the coolant overflow bottle?

Sadly no, but thank you for being the first person I've seen use loose in it's proper context and not something you have misplaced.

i have a 98 ford escort 2.0. it has 55k miles. transmission problems. see details.?

yes of course it will , a little known piece of legislation this but
all testers are instructed by the government to do their bit to alleviate boredom on the roads , and pieces of bodywork flying down the road possibly decapitating pedestrians and hurling motorcyclists off their bikes is well in line with this policy
Be sure mind, when you present yourself at the mot station that you tell the nice man that you are aware of this policy

How do I rotate my tires if I have 2 of 1 brand in the front and 2 of another in the back?

Only if the tester felt it would cause a hazard by becoming a sharp projection, or would fall off, or would foul the wheel/steering/suspension. Generally, it would have to be pretty bad to fail.

On the 99 ford taurus the battery light flickers and then goes off and comes back on again it is starting ok?

it is down to the tester if he she feels as though it is not safe sorry failed the mot is not an exact science so good luck realy

how do i get them to admit they ruiened my tire and to replace it?

If the mot tester thinks it is dangerous it will not pass , normaly a wing is not part of the test unless there are broken or jagged edge that can cut someone in an accident or they are badly corroded
