Thanks for all the comments guys. When I got back from Dave Dew's last night I was on such a high (natural) I couldn't sleep. The thing steers like it's on rails.
Original failure points were as follows.
1. Excessive handbrake travel. Examiner has to apply a load similar to 40kg, ie wrench handbrake as hard as possible. Cable clamps slipped on the cable as I had not removed the plastic covering. doh.
2. Foglight was only 'E' marked. No B or F markings.
3. Speedo readings were out, ie cable snapped on way to test. Bo**ocks. At least it failed on something else as this would have been really annoying.
So all in all a good fail but a shame it cost another £90. Well worth it now I have driven it on the open road.
Looking forward to seeing some of you in a few weeks time.
Cheers
Gus
