SVA fail Carlisle
Thankfully I failed my SVA today - at 9am this morning I didn't think I would have been able to present the car for inspection at all. (Broken
sparkplug stuck in the engine)
There is a looooong list covering two pages of the things I need to sort, at least it gives me a target over the next few weeks 
Thanks again to MkII for helping me with the spark plug.

Most of the stuff I failed on was because I hadn't fitted it yet (e.g. dashboard, boot panel, clocks on dash).
I think it is the same as most places SVA wise from what I have heard.
Some things:
- Side repeaters (didn't think I needed these)
- Emissions (no cat)
- Headlight angles of visibility (need to be higher/bigger)
- Mirrors need putting on 
- Indicator rate (no flashing at all, am using LED indicators all round)
- Wiring needs securing every 300mm or less in engine bay/boot area
- Brake pipe fouled on full lock on cycle wing
- Speedometer calibration
Lots of other small things, but as I say, at least it was a fail!
