There is some good news.
The coffee was ok in the VOSA vending machine
The day started badly and went downhill from there.
Failed emissions, headlights refused to work .However they are now ok
Overall though not too bad . I felt better when they told me 95% fail first IVA and that mine was among the better ones re general build ,braking , steering ,self centering etc.
Lots of minor issues re radii ---top front sus brackets
top harness eyes , central mirror.
Potential chafes at headlamps wiring , couple under dash ,front ns brake hose
Slight leak from fuel sender and bottom of m/c.
At least there is a list of things to fix.They commented that some cars are failing to complete test due to overheating . The car is running and revving for a long time and it was very very hot at the test centre.
Watch this space re retest in near future . They said I had 6 months to retest but I hope to be there long before.
