Iva............
 
Vosa finally got around to booking me in for an iva test

So 4.30am this morning with the help of spud who organised the towing dolly and the tow car (thanks again mate) of i went on the 2hr journey to beverley testing station

Pulled it into the testing lane and off the tester went, prodding, pulling things etc as you would expect and generally checked all the things we know about

He pointed out that my lights werent aligned properly and kindly let us align them in situe

After this he lifted the car up on the ramp with me in it and inspected the suspension and engine bay from underneath etc

When he emerged he asked "what do you do for a living"

I replied im a mechanical fitter and ex plater welder

He then said "what so you dont build cars proffesionally then"

This put a smile on my face and calmed the nerves a little :D

The rest of the test went well too field of vision in the mirrors ok, self centering was fine, brake balance fine and noise came out at only 83db

Anyway to cut a long story short










I PASSED FIRST TIME.................. YIPEEEEE :D :D

Ps. another big thanks to spud for all the help today

Nice one Mark,

Really am pleased for you.

Did you have your roll bar rear stays bolted down with two bolts each?

Cheers Ginge
