    Years ago I had a hardtail chop with straight through pipes. I had to use a tester different to my regular guy to get it through. I used to pull up at his garage, he would log in the computer with dvla and I would make him a brew and a joint. We would chat for a while and 30 mins or so later he would print my certificate. He knew my bikes and knew I wouldn't ride them unless they were road worthy but still.
    Wish I could find somebody like that for my van but alas, it's all goverment owned here.

      • Sure it'll be fine mate. Do the Haynes manual mot test on it before you take and you wont go far wrong Tony.

          Our testers are even stricter on our own cars, purely for those who think it'll get through with some distraction methods...

          Fresh MOT makes me happy, knowing that my vehicle is in a roadworthy condition, and not just because I think so. It's like getting a knowing glance over work you've done, by someone with more experience. 😀

          • That's it. Adventure, never hurts to have a fresh pair of eyes look over it. When I used to test at the Volvo agent I wouldn't test my own motor. Nothing to stop you I just wouldn't.

              • Hats off to you interior boys. Spent the morning fitting new headlining ply. Why fit it bare you ask?........well if you new our house hold anything left lying about gets trampled or thrown out so I reckon the safest place for it was in the roof. Now its in cant decide whether to use the 4 way stuff I've ordered or to just take it out and paint it. At least the roof looks a bit more loved now. Click image for larger version

Well I bowed to the pressure in the end and Molly got her way.........I don't think it looks as bad as I thought it would mind but i'll draw the line at white stilettos.

                              Seconded. Even if you did carpet the sides the roof would still work. Clean wood - v nice S49!
