Failed today
The big day has now been and gone, she failed on a few things but nothing real bad. Dam the sierra donar stuff when i find rear brakes are no good cos
of a leaking cyinder in the drum, so the brake bias couldnt be tested 
some un-protected wires in tunnel and under dash.
also put the wrong fully loaded weights down on the form, so they want me to weigh it again and show proof too (altho they knew exactly what it
weighs)
couple of other small jobs to do and thats it, im chuffed. got a re-test next fri........humbug . oh 1 last thing it failed on the view from my luego
mirrors, strange!

Bad luck, what do they define as unprotected wires?
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

speed sensor (transducer) wires (3)running along the top of the tunnel. Also where the reversing light and fog lights break out of the tubing the loom
is in (rear panel) need to be re-sleeved - they are currently wrapped up in electrical tape.
Cheers

Could it be just where you positioned them ? Or is Luego to blame ?
