SVA fail @ Newcastle

Back from SVA with a fail, but a good fail!
About a dozen items, mainly cables to tie back, some nuts to change. Bigger issue to sort are headlamps. Need to change the shells as the ones I have aren't radiused around the front edge of the shell. Also I need to change the height of the drivers seat in relation to the top harness mounts. Easy fix as the seat has some spacers under anyway.
Thought David the examiner was excellent, really helpful and friendly.
The drive to the centre was a bit scary on the A1 at 7 this morning, but the drive home was fantastic.
Thanks to lotusmadandy for all his help, would have struggled on me own!
Overall well chuffed

Good effort

There seems to be a rash of SVA posts just lately - can't think why
