Dave

how did you get on? i passed you about 12 just as you were getting to the road works just up from costco the car looks good hope it went well

It was a good fail, not to disappointed with the fail points though.
1. Headlamp beam to low
2. Exhaust clamp not radiused
3. Rear wishbone securing nut missing
4. Park brake sh1te.
5 Speedo reading 70mph actual speed 84mph.
Just got thru the emissions. Kevin did spend about 40 mins helping me set up the speedo which was great as its difficult to when you cant drive the car on the road, now speedo reads 70mph actual 69, 30 actual 29.
I will spend the weekend sorting it out and try to get the fuelling a bit better then book it in next week.
It will take me longer to get to the centre than it'll take to do the retest.

Sorry I missed this thread last night.
Tinternet was broken.

That is a very good fail indeed my man.

Very well done.

As you say, it will take longer to get there than for the test itself, so that can only be good.

Speak to you soon.

davie h - 27/3/08 at 07:03 PM
