Sva

Speedo faces from Milners.
You can use offside reversing light as a fog light, neede wiring and either paint the bulb or the lense red.
As for side lights I presume you have checked the fuse and bulbs if so post it on the electrical thread.

Get one from http://www.importedvehicles.co.uk/

2 rear fog light (can i use one reverse lamp with painted lens?)
NO that will not go through the SVA test , also get that from http://www.importedvehicles.co.uk/

3 front side lights do not operate when switched on?
check the fuse or it could be both bulbs .

4 got to remove towing eyes at front.
If they are the ones bolted to the chassis just remove them .

I'm surprised that you didn't do or check all of those things before the test , it's now going to cost you £30 for a re-test .

To register the vehicle you will need form V55/5 from the DVLA , you will need to produce the Jap de-reg - SVA certificate - insurance - Mot - Customs & Excise 386 duty paid form and a cheque for £115.75 , take that to your nearest DVLA office , and they will post you the tax disc and a form V948 to get the reg plates made up .

Hope this helps .

Towing Eyes

Hi all

Can anyone explain to me why the eyes have to be removed.
I assume they are the clip type that I have got on my 2.4. They were allready on it when I got it.

It's a load of bollux realy , but they say that they would damage anybody that you hit , well if you hit them they will probably be dead anyway , but that's the law as they see it .

Coincidence or wot ! When I picked my Surf up from the dealer and brought it home both side lights didn't work. Bulbs in both cases. Maybe they don't have any darkness in Japan !

it's cos they go round it with a "knee" and a "head".
all stuff above a certain level has to be bigger than the "head" and everything below a certain level has to be bigger than the "knee"
thay're just metal curved things that they check for sharp edges and stuff with... (hmm another great explaination! )

sort of hijack

Just as I thought " Little Hitlers " I say it you do it.

On that silliy subject back in the 1900s I got knicked for not having a chaingard on my Bonnie. Now the other day I saw a crosser on the road with out a chain gard. The danger is still there so "what's it all about Alfie"
over to you bikers.
