Thanks Gus & Les...

I honestly didn,t realise the reflectors had to be vertical....thanks for the "heads up", I,d better find those wedges that fell off your car Gus

Just another thing.....do the rear tail lights need to be vertical too ( tail/stop & indicators ?)

I must,ve missed that page in the manual

cheers

The IVA manual (version I have is 6.02) was changed in 2009 to describe the rear retro reflectors to
"rear reflectors must face predominately to the rear"

as opposed to the old manual which used to say
"rear reflectors must face squarely to the rear"

You'll be fine just the way they are as there is no requirement to have them square to the rear.

Thanks Deezee

I,ve read & re read the IVA manual i have & it still confuses the hell out of me ( not difficult I know ) when the info says position this / position that with ref to table/guide 1 etc etc .

Hmmmm an interesting one this, as such a basic thing could lead to a pass or a simple fail

cheers

as gus,s car has only gone through iva this year.
dont want to start a row but thought a helpful heads up was in order
cheers les g.

Mine has been through iva first time with no problems and all my rear lights are vertical but my reflectors were stuck on the bottom lowest corner of the rear arch as close to the rear tub as possible

They arent vertical and the tester payed them a little attention checking the radius on them, nothing mentioned on the angle though, saying that they arent far off vertical anyway

[gus]

The tester checked the radius with his gauge and stood to the side to check the angle.
