Default IVA Pass

After 4 and a bit years I'm pleased to say my Roadster passed IVA first time at Bristol yesterday.



Was an early start but all went well. Nowhere near as nerve wracking as I thought it could have been. Tester was a really nice guy.

Only had two things to alter during the test. Reflectors didn't have E marks. They don't need to, but for your own sake I would make sure they do. Luckily I had a spare set that did.

Also the nuts that secure the mirrors to the car, even though they are sold as IVA ok needed to be covered.



I asked what he required & the response was 'your the manufacturer, do what you consider acceptable'.



He was happy with this LOL.

Everything else went through fine. Emissions were well within limits. Speedo was spot on. Brake balance was near perfect. Noise 96.5db with a 1200 Suzuki Bandit exhaust can. Self centering all ok. Dominator headlights from Furore were perfect.



Foglight wasn't quite vertical, he said 'seeing as it was so close I could sort it when I got home!!'

My response was yes of course

I thought that was nice of him. No where in the manual does it mention the word 'vertical' only square to the rear, but didn't need to argue with him

Started test 8.20. Tea break 9.40 until 10.30. Test concluded at 11. Car back on trailer by 11.15. Certificate in my hand and gone by 11.30.

Not quite 2 hours actual testing. Easy £450 for them if you ask me.

If anybody wants any more info about the IVA just ask.

Just got to fill in the form for DVLA and post it all tomorrow.

Congratulations! Nice tidy looking car you've built there.
Great to see another one on the road - just be careful pulling out of junctions

Well done, car looks great.
Where did you get your headlights by the way, I'm after some IVA compatibel dominators.
Did you have to raise them up to meet IVA, any close ups appreciated.
