Road Legal ...................

Today was IVA day, it didn't start too well as after finally checking everything was good last night, this morning the battery was nearly flat and the car wouldn't start....... not a good omen. My friend Miles once again came to the rescue and between us we were able to push the car up a slope and bump start it, which it did without a problem. Didn't fill me with confidence though ! and I must apologise to my neighbour who would have been woken by us fooling around at the crack of dawn trying to get her started. I have a feeling we must have left something on or the small battery does not like the cold we shall see. We got to the test centre at 0830 by which time the right hand side of my face was a block of ice, only about 10 miles but bloody cold ! note to self need those acrylic deflector thingies ! The tester, a guy called Tony could not have been more pleasant and helpful and he studiously went through the car with a fine toothcomb, it was good to have someone professional look it over, besides the mandatory nature of the IVA, as we do not have an MOT so this was the first occasion anyone other than us had taken a good look since completion. By some miracle our headlamps were aligned which we had done by sticking tape to the garage door and using another car as a reference, they were within the allowed margin of error, a miracle !
The tester flagged up a small problem with a wire routing near to the steering column which he allowed us to fix with a cable tie. The earlier suspension set up done by Falcon Auto Centre was spot on and the tracking showed no error registering all zeros on the test bed (thanks Tony) !
The tester examined everything for the 'E' numbers including our replacement headlamps which passed without issue. To cut to the chase we now have a road legal Westfield which I have just done the excise licence and I have the V5 in my hand. A glass of something sparkling tonight methinks !
Maybe not, Joe is coming down to fit some bits !!!!!!!!!
Now for some sun and nice weather hmmmmm  could be a while !
