minor fail

well guys had a good afternoon at Nottingham SVA with Martin the tester
basically it failed the fast idle side of the emmisions test so looks like a power commander is on my shoping list
hand brake failed by 4% due mainly to the new cable stretching
it needs 2 bits of trim on edges and thats it so all in all pretty good really.
if the emmissions were ok we could have sorted the other bits there quite quickly.
thanks all for the texts,'e-mails,u2us etc.
i don't know how this compares to other bec's but it weighs 420kg on the SVA scales with half a tank of fuel so pleased with that.
also the exhausts are well quiet at 92db at 7500rpm
hopefully a retest next week if poss then the DVLA

at least the sun shone all afternoon makeing the fail abit easier to take

All sounds easy to sort, well done.

Tough luck Rich, but well done to have just a few minor points.

All the best for next week.
