Had my IVA today.......
Nash - 17/5/10 at 06:54 PM

Greetings the house.

Well I failed! However not all lost as the three things it failed on were:

1. Edges on the Shock absorbers, the ring at the bottom, although radiused it wasn't enough and the C Spanner ring edge.
Both now well radiused with my Dremmil. So Tick

2. My Side Repeaters need to be resited. He now says they need to be on the front or rear cycle wing / arch. Pondering how best to do this without leaving holes in he scuttle.

3. The Fog light switch is actually a Front Fog Light Switch so I need to change it Just about to go onto the Europa website to order one.

Thats it. Rest was fine.

All in all Ian was a top bloke. firm but fair and a nice bloke. Mitchem VOSA

Should be taking it back next week.

Sounds like a very good and easily sorted fail! Well done, just out of interest what engine you running and how did you get on with emissions and sound levels?

big_wasa - 17/5/10 at 07:03 PM

Wow I hope thats as much as I fail on.


eddie99 - 17/5/10 at 07:06 PM

Wow thats basically a pass! Well done mate, you must be very chuffed! Should be on the road in no time. Whens the retake booked for?


Jon Ison - 17/5/10 at 07:07 PM

Can you leave your repeaters where they are and fit a second set ?

Great fail btw

I think that's a fail as one set would then be classed as side markers. I've got the same dilemma, just hoping I can stick my side mirrors over the hole for my side indicators


Stuart_B - 17/5/10 at 07:20 PM

good fail, all very easy fixes.


l0rd - 17/5/10 at 07:25 PM

Well done. Nearly there.

I would be pissed off though. Such minor fixes and another 100+? quid for the retest?


gdp66 - 17/5/10 at 07:32 PM

I failed on the same indicator issue at Mitcham

see my fix

Thanks fella's.

OK questions

1. Running a Nov 1968 x-flow so smoke test only.

2. Noise was 93dBA New 7" can from Powerspeed. Great zorst and top company.

3. Have to remove repeaters not in use.

4. Gary, where have you run the wiring for the cycle wing repeaters? Like the sticker idea BTW.

5. Hoping to retest next week.

Good result

what year does the engine have to be for a smoke test only?


Please please say 1994 or earlier!


Daddylonglegs - 17/5/10 at 11:01 PM

Good job matey

If I fail on that alone I'll be well chuffed!

As already said, you can be proud of yourself

I guess after your info regarding the dremel treatment, there should be no excuses for any fails on the shock rings now lol!

Same guy who did mine.

Nice bloke isn't he! Didn't even moan when he leaned over the exhaust to look at the carb and melted a hole in his hi-vis jacket!

Cheers,
James


cjtheman - 18/5/10 at 06:13 AM

Well done mate. Don't think of it as a fail just a delayed pass!

Any chance of a picture of your new silencer?

Cheers
Gary
