Sorry been crap at taking pictures recently, i've just been cracking on to get things complete so I can book my retest asap.
01 - NOISE
RS5: The stationary noise must have a measured sound level not exceeding 99dbA.
Additional Information: OVER 103dBa RECORDED. 02B - METERED EMISSIONS
RS4: The emission limits must be met as prescribed in the flow charts in the IVA M1 Manual Section 02B for CAT1 or CAT 2 Additional Information: EMISSIONS LIMITS NOT MET.(see printout)
Well i've done the best I can. everything the exhaust side has deadening material on it. Any rattle or anything potentially going to rattle has foam or rubber on it.
05 - STEERING EFFORT
RS8: When the vehicle is driven at speeds above 10mph, there must be a degree of steering “self centring” evident.
Additional Information: NO SELF CENTERING WHEN DRIVEN.
The steering was stiff, I think this might have something to do with the car not self centering. I've played around with the column and its now much easier to steer.. With the wheels off the ground I can move the wheel with one finger.

09B - SERVICE BRAKE CONTROL / MECHANICAL COMPONENTS
RS26: It must not be possible to manually adjust braking rates between axles
Additional Information: BIAS BAR ADJUSTMENT MUST BE LOCKED WITH EITHER LOCKWIRE OR ROLL PINS.
Additional Information: BIAS BAR ADJUSTMENT MUST BE LOCKED WITH EITHER LOCKWIRE OR ROLL PINS.
Bias bar now locked out with split pins.. Not sure split pins are going to be suitable for IVA. mIght have to get some roll pins.
09D - HYDRAULIC AND VACUUM SYSTEMS
RS10: A brake pipe or hose must have suitable joint fittings
Additional Information: NO PTFE TAPE TO BE USED ON HYDRAULIC BRAKE HOSE TO CALIPER FITTINGS.
PTFE tape has been removed and adapters refitted. Still need to bleed the brakes.
09E - BRAKE PERFORMANCE
RS16: The parking brake performance must be a minimum of 18% Additional Information: ONLY 10% ACHIEVED.
Handbrake removed and refitted.. I've taken all the slack out and now I get max performance on 3-4 clicks. Fingers crossed this will be strong enough, going to get it check at the garage before IVA.
12 - INTERIOR FITTINGS
RS1: Interior design features and fittings in the “specified zone” which are contactable with a 165mm sphere in a forward direction must have a radius of curvature of 2.5mm or greater, except where a projection from a panel is less than 3.2mm where the edges must be at least blunted
Additional Information: -BOLT HEADS ON NEARSIDE TUNNEL AND ABOVE BATTERY. -TOP EDGE OF GEARSHIFT MECHANISM BEHIND STEERING WHEEL.
Caps on the bolts in the passenger footwall and covered the top of the paddleshift with some edging.
14 - PROTECTIVE STEERING
RS3: The steering control and column assembly must provide adequate protection to the driver by absorbing energy from a driver- steering wheel impact. This is the case if the steering control has an approval (evidence may be markings or documents), or is similar to an approved steering control.
Additional Information: NO DRIVER/ WHEEL ENERGY ABSORBING DEVICE FITTED.
Still waiting for my collapsible boss to turn up, Been told tomorrow so hopefully investigate getting this fitted tomorrow.
16 - EXTERIOR PROJECTIONS
RS2: All ‘hard’ parts contactable with a 100mm sphere, which form an external surface or protrude 5mm or more from the external surface must have a radius of curvature of at least 2.5mm
Additional Information: HEADLAMP BRACKET EDGES.
Used amalgamating tape, as suggested by the IVA tester.
RS29: An exhaust tailpipe must not project beyond the floor line lying directly above it by more than 10mm, unless it terminates in a radius of curvature of at least 2.5mm and in all cases project no more than 150mm. In the case of side mounted exhausts the tailpipe must terminate no more than 50mm from the extreme outer edge of the vehicle.
Additional Information: EXHAUST TAILPIPE CANNOT PROJECT MORE THAN 50MM PAST REAR WHEEL ARCH WIDEST POINT.
I extended the original MNR exhaust hanger with some steel.. After messing around with the exhaust I managed to just drill another hole in the silencer hanger which pulled the exhaust in so I was well within the 50mm limit.
18 - STATUTORY PLATES
RS1: The vehicle must be fitted with a manufacturer’s plate, in a conspicuous and readily accessible position.
Additional Information: MANUFACTURERS PLATE MISSING. AS A MINIMUM IT MUST HAVE,
MANUFACTURERS NAME VIN NUMBER
I emailed the IVA tester to confirm that they would accept the following and they would. I stamped the rest of the VIN on and riveted this to the top bulk head panel.
23 - DIRECTION INDICATORS
RS6b: Directional indicators must be positioned to meet the angles of visibility requirements as detailed in the table in Section 23 of the IVA M1 inspection Manual
Additional Information: SIDE REPEATERS NOT POSITIONED TO MEET REARWARD 5 DEGREE ANGLE OF VISABILITY. NOTE, SIDE REPEATERS MUST BE FITTED WITHIN 2600MM OF THE VERY FRONT EDGE OF THE VEHICLE.
The side indicators are fitted and working. Can be clearly seen from the rear.
25 - HEADLAMPS
RS11: For European type headlamps with centres not more than 850mm from the ground, the beam image horizontal cut-off must be between the horizontal 0.5% and 2% lines, i.e. the red tolerance band.
Additional Information: UNABLE TO ASSESS, AS BOTH HEADLAMPS HAVE NO BEAM PATTERN.
Don't know what I had done to the lights. After some investigation I had just wired the dipped and high beam the wrong way round.
The below picture shows the right headlight now correct. Showing dripped headlight.
The below picture shows the right headlight now correct. Showing dripped headlight.
Right showing high beam.
Both headlights now showing a good dripped pattern.
Good high bream.. The right headlight looks a little high.
28 - REAR FOG LAMPS
RS4: The rear fog lamp(s) must only illuminate when dipped beam, main beam or front fog lamps are lit
Additional Information: REAR FOG LAMP MUST ONLY WORK WITH DIP AND MAIN BEAM. NOT SIDE LAMPS
Additional Information: REAR FOG LAMP MUST ONLY WORK WITH DIP AND MAIN BEAM. NOT SIDE LAMPS
The standard loom I received allows you to turn on fogs from side lights. I just rewired this at the fuse and it sorted the problem.
33 - IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS
RS1: Where provided, identification of controls must be clear so not to cause confusion
Additional Information: DIP AND MAIN BEAM SWITCH PICTOGRAMMES ARE AROUND WRONG WAY.
Should have seen this was wrong.. The digidash symbol shows the high beam, which I should have copied but didn't. Now correct.

Will try and get an appointment at my local garage to get the emissions, handbrake, and steering tested.
One picture... Of the mess I am working in!! The weather has been terrible. I need to move the car out so I can tidy the garage.
