SVA Pass First Time
Pdlewis - 7/4/09 at 04:59 PM

Woooohoooo Passed on the first go

Really good day started out at 6 this morning drove the first 20 miles to the test center then put it on the trailer. The drive was good but it did manage to break my exhaust rubber but luckily we arrived a bit early and cobbles together a replacement.

Went through the speed test with a little adjustment then to my supprise sailed throught the emmisions test!! then onto under car all good, brakes next which wasnt so good the fronts were fine but the rears were not stopping at all so he let me take it out and bleed them in the car park last a noise test 100db and to finish just has to add some trim to my tunnel cover

was impressed with the weight as well with a full tank and no driver 438kgs

Thanks to MNR and everyone on here for their help

Pics to follow when i get a min later

Well done , see you on the A5

Basset Clocks I just stuck a gromet in the gear change light as the rest was excluded because i used the sierra wheel

I put U trim on the seatbelt triangles (if to doesnt stick use a cable tie with the fixing bit on the underneath he didnt really spend much time a radius stuff

Are you sure on the weight, 438kg's with a full tank seems a bit light to me.
