anyone having an IVA near lincs/notts?
If so could I come along and bring tools/coffee/another pair of hands? I'd like to see a test for myself as I think it'd help when I have
mine.
I'll bring along chocolate hobnobs too if that helps swing it

Hi went along to notts with my mate last week, and to tell you the truth, not a big deal if you have a Westfield or a Gardner Douglas with new bits or
this is the impression I got. But having said that the tester was a very pleasant nice fellow and if your car looks like its been built with care and
attention then he relaxes a bit, human nature .
I have attended several SVA tests including my own in the last few years with my wonderful mates here in Peterborough and in my view, I
couldn't see anything that would warrant the cost hike apart from changing the stationary, and discouraging us from the hobby we love.

Possibly that every SVA was being done at a massive loss?

No centre in P'boro , so Norwich or Nott's
