Default Dogwood, SVA fail

Well had my SVA this morning at Gillingham.

Met Neil my examiner, Top bloke. Had to say that coz he frequents the build forums...LOL
Took the time to explain things to me, and answer all my inane questions.
I felt he did everything he could to help me pass.
If you are reading this Neil.. Thanks mate


Had a stupid fail though..
Trying to save money I didn't replace my front discs.
They looked OK, but it turned out they were warped !!

The rest was OK apart from a couple of wires I forgot to cover.
AND......For future reference to anyone going for their test.
I was quite confident my sports steering wheel would pass OK
It had good padding and good radiuses.
But he said a non standard Sierra steering wheel will not pass, because it is not type approved.


Anyway, Got a retest this Wednesday afternoon.
So bought a new set of discs on the way home.
Will fit them tomorrow, and fit the standard Sierra steering wheel.

Thanks for all the support guys, fingers crossed again for Wednesday

David
