Anyone know when the inspector is at birimingham offices.

Im Hoping (everything crossed for me) to pass SVA when I go next thursday 23rd april and given the SVA test site is directly accross the road from DVLA was hoping to get their inspection done at the same time.

They do them at Elmdon Trading Estate.
You can not go and get the built up inspection done without getting an appointment from the DVLA office in Edward street Birmingham.When I took my Mac certificate and all the stuff to register at Edward street they made an appointment for me at Elmdon while I was there. It was about 3 days later. The inspector at Elmdon then contacts Edward street and they send your tax disc and a Reg number to your address with a form to get your plates made.

Wonderful waste of time if you ask me.

Steve.

And they insist on the car being on a trailer. Absolute waste of time, why can the SVA chap not tick the boxes for them?
Having said that at least we can still build and register our own cars.

in that case I wont bother trying to register at birmingham. Its a 50 mile round trip.

Only reason SVA was arranged there was because they could give me a later date than Notts.
