What did it fail on ? My retest only took 20 mins and that included warming the engine up for the emissions test.

Few radius bits and my seat headrests. Hes given me an hour including writing it up so ill be re-testing in 2 weeks.

That bit was scary as crap at my IVA as I was stood right next to the rear wheel, and the barrier was only 3ft from the rollers.

Also during the 70mph test there was a thick burning smell. Turned out the headers heated up to a proper temperature and there was a clip from a zip tie fallen down the header branches and had been turned to soot.
