So I managed to fail the test today ! Some of the problems 'I should have realised' but a few odd ones to me, I thought maybe relevant to pass on.
Point to note is that I purchased the kit when 'SVA' compliant so perhaps I made to many assumptions. Anyway here goes; 1) Wrong colour fog light indicator - should be amber - mine is red ! 2) No label showing the brake fluid type, 3) HT leads not marked with correct 'identification or indication of suppression every 120mm - Also I cannot yet find any that do comply... checked 3 brands from motor factors... 4) Exterior projections- they got me on the brake cylinder itself (just where the pipe goes in is not rounded enough 5) Exterior projections - The stick on rear reflectors need softer edges... 6) Side repeaters- not positioned such that they meet the angles of visibility.... they were in the standard holes.-- Not sure if QSC have modified the build yet...Suggestion was to put them on the front wheel arch 7) Wash wipe - not sufficient to clear the screen (The sweep was not large enough) 8) Stamped VIN number on the nearside not the offside as required (this is prestamped by QSC) 9) Braking - Rear axle imbalance....ooops. 10) Tywrap on the steering arm needs turning round - the 'block' was pointing forward (This was fixed on site !!) 11) Fog lights could operate when the side lights were on.....(but they missed this on the report) !!! On the positive side, at least there is a smaller definitive list to comply with. The tester was very helpful and made some very interesting suggestions.- basically slim down your cars. If you have doors- the offside mirror must spring back. No hood - ever !!!- it will mean the fuel filling point is within the passenger bit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
