Passed Sva At Last

[snake_bitten]

At Last I have the golden ticket.

The DAX passed the retest on Friday15th, the 4 failures were front indicators too low, speedo under reading, handbrake low effort (12%) and exhausts too loud (109db).

Exhausts now 98.4db after stuffing with wire wool and chicken wire, Mark's (Fat Boy Northern) pipes with the patented SVA end cap.

hand brake 20% but will hopefully get better once the pads have bedded in.

Unfortunatly the good ole DVLA are not doing inspections untill the new year, so I cannot enjoy my week off over the holidays by driving the car.......unless 5 mot retests???

Congrats John.
Have you tried contacting other DVLA centres to see if they can inspect/register your car before the New Year. After all it only takes about ten minutes and you can drive there so it's a good excuse for a run!

I thought driving to/from DVLA office was a grey area legally?(Driving to/from SVA and MOT being acceptable ?)
Probably best to book an MOT at a garage close by to be sure(even if you don`t turn up) :thumb:

There has been great debate about this on previous posts. Don't ask the DVLA as they have nothing to do with the law. Check with your local police traffic department. I phoned all the Scottish Divisions and they all agree that as long as an appointment has been made and the vehicle is insured then it is legal to do so.:drive:

No, I borrowed someone elses phone. Then I called my sister in Canada, my brother in New Zealand and some fool in The Netherlands but he wasn't home!:thumb:
