Eye, good luck with the test, this was mine beginning of Dec 08
I was quite fun trying to find the markings on the pavement so he could do the rear view mirror test and the self centering was also quite
interesting!
Enjoy the day, its not as bad as some may make out.
Cheers
Rich

good luck,i had les .top guy he came across as a bit abrupt at first but im sure he wanted to pass the car as he was very fair and gave me time to fix
a couple of fail points so i could get my mac.
nicola at ipswich is very helpful though parking is an absolute pain with a trailer.hope it all goes well for you tomorrow

I'm exhausted 5.30 starts in the snow do not agree with me.
FAILED.
can only be described as a good fail though
Tested be Jim nice guy who did every thing he could to enable a pass.
I had a couple of edges that would have taken about 2mins to fix but half way through the brake test the fronts started failing, I've not had a
look yet but it must be either the M/C or balance bar.
Consequently still not sure on set up before pinning the bar, which Norwich will not let us do there so I'll have to take a chance and pin
before going for retest.
I called in at Ipswich DVLA on the way home, cor it is tight in there car park, Nicola was very helpfull and age related plate on the way as soon as
they have a MAC in their hand, hopefully next wk.

bad luck with the fail but not to much to sort out.
it's daft that they won't let you set up the brakes then pin them, surely that's the safest way

Apparently it's because of, yes you've guesed it "HEALTH AND SAFETY" they don't like drilling etc on site.
If it stops raining/snowing I'll get to have a look on Sunday and try for a retest next week.

I took mine down to my local MOT station to test the brake resistance at each end, then set it accordingly.... same with the headlights and tracking
.....
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.
