you must av had the same rain as me, started filling up the tunnel
but she soildiered on through the rain. Arrive home with a wet arse, wet face, in fact wet everything, car now looks like it's been on a rally course.
hi chaps,
the avon passed at gillingham first time!!!
cant believe it! thoughtg emmisions were way off, no self centering, edges everywhere!!
but had very decent tester- hint of centering was enough, tested the emmissions twice on the lowest test possible then passed it.
had a good look under the bonnet, and at general build, but not interested in sharp edges!
phew! now to get the suspension set up, and ebgine running properly.
drive there and back was in heavy rain- whole car an inch deep in water!!
feel of steering, pedals, and noise of engine very agricultural, but hopefully eventually get it sorted

well done of pass,

Top man - Just when you think all the hard work has been done getting it through the SVA you then really start work on it to get it to your
standard
Good stuff :-) also good to hear that the tester was reasonable...
Nice one les, i hummed and harred about gillingham but went for edmonton, fingers crossed they are just as good for me.
How long did it take for the test.
They are a good bunch at Gillingham - mine passed when I least expected it. They have a lot of common sense and if the build looks good (and they can tell)they don't quote chapter and verse at you and just give you a pass.
congrats!

Well Done!
Another one on the road
sounds like the tester was in a VERY good mood! perhaps he 'got lucky' the night before?
excellent news, just in time for the good..... no scratch that, just in time for the rain!
any piccies?
thanks guys,
test took about 2hrs. just got the dvla process started, cant contact local office by phone, swansea are sending me a pack- they state no mot
required, but im betting ill need one when i get to the local office!.

i know,
brighton dvla nows have my sva pass certificate , all my recipts for the build, and £230- they say they just need to see the car- my response was
"no problem ill have it here in half an hour" they refused this and said an inspector will call to do a home visit- which could take up tp 4
weeks!! i did point out that that was not much help when i have 26 days left to get a reg number to the insurance company- they replied not their
concern!!
also once done i have to get the car up to tiger for setting up, and get the engine dyno'ed somewhere- all in time for septembers nurrburgring
trip!!
heres hoping...
