It was a lovely, sunny morning as I left home in the Ronart for the IVA test in Southampton. This was the first outing for the car and I was immediately struck by just how windy 30 mph can be! with no screens fitted I had to wear full goggles to drive and I had to remember to keep my mouth closed. The drive to the centre was great, there were no issues and we arrived in plenty of time.
The tester was a pleasant chap and clearly knew the rules as within a minute he declared the first failure. The car was supplied with the chassis number stamped on a plate which is then riveted onto the chassis, apparently this is not acceptable and the number has to be stamped directly onto the chassis.
We progressed well through the test which took six hours in all. I was very pleased to have passed on all of the major items such as brakes, emmissions, noise, speedo, etc. so there is no major rework to do. The main issues found were:
I am actually very pleased with this result, everything is fixable so there is a clear way forward. Hopefully I can get it back for a retest within a couple of weeks and then move on to registration.
