Chadderton Re Test. Passed!!!
I'm over the moon. I only got notice yesterday about half 3 that they would fit it in tonight starting at 5. They wouldn't do a weekend for
a retest and I explained that I would have to go for IVA then. They were really helpful and did the 5 o clock one.
I was rushed off my arse yesterday running round and trying to sory a trailer out. Anyway all things fell into place today (just) and I got there. Had
2 testers John (I think. Grey hair) and Dave (? Glasses and dark hair) Fantastic people, helpful and interested in making it pass.
So I'm sat here with a MAC! Me, with a MAC I can't believe it, I'm on a real high and don't know my head from my elbow at the
moment I'm that happy.
Apologies for the gloating to anyone that's struggling to get through

Great news, and very nice to see the testers being so compliant. I should imagine the testing stations are booked to overflowing, Did anybody fail to
get a SVA test slot??

They said at the moment they're having 3 kit car tests a day there and a lot are coming through in a semi finished state.
Mr Over-The-Moon now! I'm just going to change the building part of my profile to 'built' now.

Well. I may very well have that in mind already  Don't really want to trailer it back up there for their inspection and I'm aware that
some stations have the police inspect it so I'm going to try my luck.

Cheers Fozzie. I had one good day a few weeks back and managed to sort everything all at once, it was amazing. I had a bias valve that was blocking
all pressure so I drilled the top and found the fault, I found a small leak on one of the outlets on my new MC and stopped that sucking air and it
then worked and biggest thing of all I read something of no real relevance but something went through my head and I went and looked at the carbs and I
had blocked off the breather with a cap off the new MC without really noticing what I'd done and when i removed it the thing fired up great and
allowed me tweek it. It's ran better than ever since then! A real turning point that day was.
DVLA next then like Steve says, see what their might is like!

Well done mate.
I'm really pleased for you.
When you presented it first time, was it running ok or not? If not, did they do the test anyway?
if sorting a trailer is difficult, your welcome to borrow mine any time. Its a bit of a squeeze to get it on, but works fine.
Mates rates applies - free, but you break it, it gets robbed, you buy it
I'm in liverpool if it helps get a trailer for the DVLA inspection?

A run out sounds good once I've tackled the DVLA.
Dangle. First time I took it the engine had a slight misfire which affected the sound test by 1 dB and he wouldn't test the speedo above 50mph
because of it. Their emmissions tester wouldn't work and then to top it off I turned it off for a brew and the immobiliser threw a fit and
wouldn't let me restart so for what was left of the test (please look away if you are a VOSA manager) he let me and my brother run up and down
the station pushing it while he did the rest

Well done! As you know from my post, I've also got Dave's signature on the correct bit of paper now.
As well as the Greater Manchester/Lancs Kit population growing, there appears to be a growing contingent in the South Wirral/Wirral/Liverpool area as
well now so perhaps we can find somewhere between the two areas to all meet up when we get sorted with DVLA

Oyy, I've got a long way to go before my car+PASSENGER wieght matches yours. Still, if everyone who's promised me a butty buy's
them at the same time, it'll look like one of those eating contests!
