If so, I'll take the second and third from your list and I'll add my own.
3: Post a question in Motoring, asking about a strange noise my car is making, whilst avoiding giving any specific details that might help and being as vague as possible. Then from the answers that will all start with the words, "It might be...", I'll pick the one that suits me most/sounds cheapest and continue to ignore it.

Try (or rather don't, you will regret it) changing a headlamp bulb on a Vauxhall Zafira.
A few years ago, it took a Vauxhall fitter, plus me, over half an hour to do so. Amongst other things, we had to remove the indicator assembly, for the simple reason that it was directly behind the headlamp, making removal of the bulb holder physically impossible otherwise.

I read about a Halfords employee needing several stiches after slicing up his fingers whilst replacing a Picasso headlamp. I did manage to do it, took about 30 mins to got it right.
The reversing lamps arent working. I'm waiting for next service/mot to get the mechanic to do it. Neither me nor the lady at the local motor factor shop could work out how to get into the rear light cluster.

i had an audi a6 a while back and you had to dismantle half the engine to get enough room to change a small sidelight bulb. i could have left it, but the bloody warning light on my dash kept going off, driving me bonkers. but it was ok, as replacing one on the drivers side meant that i was experienced enough to replace the one on the other side that went wrong a week after.
bloody lectrics.

I think it is a bit of an odd question to be fair, I think that I will still get my car serviced which is an entirely different thing to the MOT. then get the MOT done when due. To me the MOT is just the exam, I would always expect my car to pass as the service is where I would expect all the general maintenance to be done.
