The trackrod covers don't look permanent enough - are they threaded on and then locked in place by putting the TRE on, or do they have a slit
all the way down so you can get them on without removing the TREs? If the latter I think they won't like it.

looked for it in the manual but cant find anything specifically related to this.
Apart from that - cracking looking 7!

If you were to look on the other side of the van there is a question mark. Signwriters cocked up and it's never got sorted, drives my missus
mad. As for the choke it's not really a choke but rather a fast idle knob, i couldn't find any lettering for that though.

No they are split but i intend to glue them on. Do you think that would be ok?

Ive got a Dymo machine if you want to mark it up.
As i said earlier before reading all this, good quality build, and the best looking MK ive seen yet. Certainly not an amateur build. Cant wait to
drive it!!

Maybe the radius where the side panel meets the rear panel mask each side of the gap leaving a 8mm gap ish white tiger seal the gap a fettle it up
with a bit of silicone spray or wd40 on your finger then when happy peel the tape up looks loads better did mine i would upload a pic but it says not
compatible from my tablet , also tyre valve caps? Mines at mac1 now havin exhaust and this was on the list of niggley fails he managed to find, dash
board lower radius edge and the brackets for the upper coloum need u trim, looks good tho but obviously not as good as mine lol, good look on the test

And the rear parcel shelf if there is less than 6 bolts they can remove the cover as its classed as tempoary and test under there. (couple more bolts)
i couldnt believe how stupid the test is also the rear lights do they have the 2.5 radius around the bolt holes if not silicone them up.

I think so. Cable ties would not be, I think, but if it's permanently glued I don't see how they could say it's not permanent.

How about the radius on the bottom of the rear tub. A couple of dax Rushs have failed on the recently according to Dax. Simple to radius it or cover.

The radius on the rear tub looks ok to me along with the lower side panels.
Tyre valves? Really?
I know i've got to put some silicone on the cope moulding where it touches the rear shelf.
I've just sent my application forms.

Thats a major bummer! I always said I would be waiting to get my car 100% IVA ready BEFORE booking my IVA, however if the turn around is that slow, I
think I may end up booking it when the car is 90% ready!
Is there no other VOSA stations that you can get to that can see it sooner?

I've got VOSA ringing the nearest test centres for me, got to say VOSA have been extremly good. Edmonton don't have any dates until
October. Apparently Northampton aren't able to do any IVA's. I'm just waiting to hear back from Yeading.
