Major Stare Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 The Derby SVA centre is famous for failing SVA's................. Especially Red Zetec cars Quote

Motor-muzzy Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Passed SVA first time yesterday at Nottingham, VERY helpfull there, in and out in 70 mins. Quote
itguy Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Yep - we passed at Nottingham on Tuesday PM with the Marlin Sportster - very nice bloke and very fair. They even keep a nice file of which kit magazine in there to read! (and they'll even warm your brakes up for you if they are bit sh*t on the day as our rears were) "they'll only get better" he said Quote
jak Posted July 14, 2005 Author Posted July 14, 2005 Err, guys I really am pleased for you but I need on Derby not Nottingham. John. Quote
rowle1p Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Mine passed first time at Derby 2 yrs ago, he was going to faail it on emissions and also shaarp bits on the factory westfield exhaust, but he let me work on the car during the test, I filed an edge on the exhaust and tweaked the engine management to reduce emissions. Thorough, which is what you want prior to taaking your car on the road, and also fair. Cheers Phil Quote
nre Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Well my 'red Zetec powered car'* passed second time last year at Derby, the guys were fine. Would've passed first time had it not been for brake bias 'issues'... There's a bit about it on my website HERE. Neil *but not a westie, you understand Quote
