If so could I come along and bring tools/coffee/another pair of hands? I'd like to see a test for myself as I think it'd help when I have mine.

I'll bring along chocolate hobnobs too if that helps swing it

Hi Franky, I'm heading to shrewsbury or derby for my test in a couple of weeks if you're interested although I realise thats a bit further from notts/lincoln

Hi went along to notts with my mate last week, and to tell you the truth, not a big deal if you have a Westfield or a Gardner Douglas with new bits or this is the impression I got. But having said that the tester was a very pleasant nice fellow and if your car looks like its been built with care and attention then he relaxes a bit, human nature .
I have attended several SVA tests including my own in the last few years with my wonderful mates here in Peterborough and in my view, I couldn't see anything that would warrant the cost hike apart from changing the stationary, and discouraging us from the hobby we love.

Possibly that every SVA was being done at a massive loss?

T Rex - thats good to hear as I'll no doubt be using the peterborough test centre - hope I get a reasonable guy when I attend!

date yet to be confirmed but likely to be a morning between 10th-14th

Wumps , I dont think we have a test center in Peterborough . most of my visits have been to Norwich.

Wumps - 27/4/10 at 06:00 PM

Really? Would have thought they would as they have a fairly big DVLA compound over there. Oh well i'll look around the beds and cambs area, if not guess its Norwich
