got a date today when I spoke to the lady at aberdeen, 24th March at 8am , she said it has to be full of petrol and bring a wee tool kit in case there is anything minor that can be sorted, she also said to allow around 5 hours for the test.
she is going to send a confirmation email with all the details


Really nervous now :O

just mounted a new fan (peace of mind) on the radiator, and moved my front indicators forward as I was worried about the line of sight angles, a couple of other jobs, nut covers everywhere front and back, checking wiring is tidy , undersealed the floor underside, nylocs on the TRE's instead of castleated .
still to do pad center of steering wheel, new reverse light switch, trim footwell and keep checking stuff
