Slightly better than those! Only failed on....

Seatbelt anchorage points corroded - wouldn't know, don't even wear them in the van cos be honest... You're fooked!
Fog light innop
Wipers not clearing screen
Some ball joint sh!t


So only £400 to get it through

What a deal, had it coming to be fair, the way it sailed through the last 2 tests baffled me

Door steps are pretty common, had to them on mine for the seatbelts. Pretty good result for an old bus. :cool:

Drove it for work today too, about a 70 mile found trip didn't miss a beat

So..... Found out why the roof is so keen to fly off

This is the underneath of the ONLY screw keeping it on



So no camper for me this season

That's got to be easily DIYable. Is it just the screws holding the pop top to the frame?

Yep.... But all the others are gone!

The holes that is, not the screws
