Hmm let's see how that goes, after the Eh Team sorted me out with the basics.

No gonna get the part in once it at work and I've found out if I need other parts to get it through. The tester is very pragmatic so he won't let anything through dangerous like but he's not gonna be stupid about things.
Plus the short term plan is not to go far in it yet anyway so just want o get the import papers sorted for which I need an MOT and Insurance. Dubfreeze is the weekend after I go away though so got to find at least one voyage to do before a possible engine swap.

..and thanks mods for moving - blonde.com

Lol MOT guy did his back in - typical. Gonna get the bleed nipple done now it's at work in the dry so one less thing to fail on. Waiting on news of postage cost for some RHD headlights and get them in too.
If anyone's got any locally, I'd be grateful though to speed things up.

Finally it's in today, expecting brakes need further adjustment and my vaguely placed insulation tape as beam deflectors may not get through. Other than that, hoping for nothing more than the odd split CV boot type fail point - unless they get pinickity about jagged edges on the rusty arches.
 
Been much longer than planned so very excited!!

Well that went ok, no nasty surprises. Needed some steering rack gaiters - which was odd (x2).
 
Things I need to sort asap are Number Plate lights....anyone got any spare super local to Wolves ideally....and Head Light LHD to RHD deflectors, do Brickwerks stock these, I read somewhere they might. Failing that, I need a diagram to show where to put my tape as it clearly wasn't right as it still failed apparently.
Don't really want to replace the lights as the van will be doing more miles in Europe than the UK in all probability.
 
Only other things it needed was the wheel arches taped up, as they had jagged edges and the brakes needed bleeding more, so pretty good result if I can source the above sharpish in time for retest.

Cool, sorted via Brickwerks......lazy of me not to look there first.....I guess all the bods who knew the answer to my question thought so too or they'd have helped. Will update when I have the certificate. LOL
