Valtra - 10/7/08 at 07:17 PM

Hi all

After 15+ years of planning, dreaming, scheming, building and swearing my car passed it's SVA 1st time at Nottingham today !!

sorry to intrude but just have to tell the world

Cheers for any advice you may have given no matter how humble . The guy at Nottingham was an absolute star and if anybody wants any tips please ask away , but for now i'm going to take the top off a bottle and "have me tea"

viscous sharp edges top and bottom..... as to the solution... it wasn't my idea , and I didn't fit some of it either !

AdrianH - 10/7/08 at 10:18 PM

EH!!!!

You mean the radius was less then what every it should be?

I really must read up on SVA docs some time.

Once again congrats.
