Don't know where the time has gone. According to my V5 my Viento was first registered nearly 3 years ago. I assume that this means that I will need to get an MOT by the third anniversary. Are there any recommended testers in the NG16 area?

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not after a dodgy test, I just want someone who is familiar with kit cars and who will let me be present whilst the car is being tested.

Don't. know where in Notts. you are, but I go here:

Jacksdale MOT Centre
Protune Vehicle Diagnostics. Services, MOT's & Repairs.

Unit 6 Pye Hill Rd, Nottingham NG16 5LR Nottinghamshire

Potentially too far away, but I use Chilwell MOT. They've been very good with my Sylva RIOT. They were also good when I had a Series2 Land Rover.

I always take our historic and moderns to Elmtree Garage, Rawson Street, New Basford, 0115 9781008.....

Not sure if I've just been lucky but mine has always just been taken to the local garage, as opposed to any that are kit car friendly. Did this where we used to live and since we moved and never had any MOT issues other than when stuff properly needs fixing.

I always fear emmissions related problems as I have ZX6R carbs on a Zetec but it has never been an issue.

Thanks guys, I live in Eastwood so they are all within reasonable distance and an excuse for a run out unless its raining (no windscreen or weather gear). I'll start calling them and select on the basis of availability.

Went to the one in Jacksdale this morning and the car got though ok, but with a couple of advisories that I'll need to sort out before next time (just within limits for handbrake left/right balance; and, one of the rear off-side bushes has a slight bit of play in it). Both should be easy fixes. The headlight alignment was a bit out, but we adjusted them at the end of the test

The tester was very fair and did a thorough job, which is what you want as its mostly a safety test. Added advantage was that I made a good car painting contact in the next unit along.
