IVA Pre check Help in Yorkshire
daveb666 - 20/5/13 at 01:50 PM

Hi, just taken collected the built Locost of big_wasa. There are a couple of things I know I need to do for the IVA (oil breather to catch tank and wrap lambda sensor) but I just wondered if there is anyone in the Yorkshire (Huddersfield area) that would have half an hour to spend to take a look over the car since I've missed anything.

THanks in advance

The way i did it was...
If you see 'anything' that even looks remotely suspicious.
Evostik & Edging trim - rubber over nuts etc anything that can be covered .. just cover it,,
Remember .. a mechanic should be able to replace protective trim. Though Cable ties seem disposable..

Just keep looking and covering every edge !!

Stick a load of pictures up from different angles. People will spot things!!

2 suggestions - assuming you can move the car -

1) Get a local garage to check the car to MOT standard, the 3 thinks you really need (as they require specialist kit) are emissions, brake function and percentages for service and handbrake and headlight alignment. It was this point I discovered that the headlights bought at a kit car show had left hand drive lenses!

2) Given your location, I would speak to Chris / Mark at MNR. Mark did a check for me, pointed out some details that needed attention in exchange for a modest fee. They fitted me in at a quiet time for them and spent about 45 mins going over it.

Those steps helped me get through first time.

Mark at Mac1 did my pre check and gave great advice.

I was hoping that I'd find someone to come to me as I have to hire a transporter to move the car I'll get some pictures up this week.
