SVA Failed
Never mind, just a few edges to sort out and a couple of brake lines to protect, and the hadbrake needs adjusting. Head restraints on the roll bar as
it was so low.
Retest on the 13th may

unlucky Dude, at least nothing drastic.
How were the testers in Southampton?
All the best Dan.

testers are ok, seemed to be good for a laugh. lots of tips on how to make the corrections, even did a few there and then himself. failure list looks
bad, its 4 pages long, but he wrote on there there technical terms for the failures and also the laymans terms.

Cool, I seem to be in a bit of a no-mans land as far as SVA centres go so keeping my options open.
All the best Dan.

bad luck. so thats one car that wont be visiting uncle john next week.
I would have thought there was a SVA center in Oxford. Maybe that just irony with the roads there though.

Sorry to hear of the fail but at least you have a work list now so there is light at the end of the tunnel.
You say that the rollbar was too low. How low is it and what is the SVA requirement? I ask because mine is quite low and I'm a little bit
worried now that it might be too low...
Cheers,
Craig.

Roll bar isnt too low, its just low enough to warrant a head restraint or padding of some discription. If you look on my photo archive at a picture
called Who's that or something like it you can see why.
Jamie look on your new forest Locost group contact sheet, Dan is on there, he is the founder member and a wealth of knowledge, (bit of a locost
anorak).
Are you at the stoneleigh show tomorrow or monday, Piggy Andy and I are going Monday if you want to meet up.
Been busy woking through the work list today, just need to replace the mirrors now. And did you know if you have a non lockable petrol filler cap
inside a lockable boot, they will fail it. has to be lockable filler cap regardless.

Did your RS wheels pass the SVA? or did you use the steels for the test - vested interest, I also have a set of RS's and a set of 1300GT steels
incase the RS's are not SVA friendly
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

just left the steels on there for the SVA, no tyres for the rs one yet. still trying to decide whether to go for the 195/55r13's (rare as
Rocking horse sh*t) or 185/55r13's bit cheaper

Did you ask the SVA inspector about the RS's being compliant?
