Passed again today and was actually quite impressive on the handbrake too! cool
It nearly went horribly wrong as i had a spare Slam panel on (whilst im refurbing my original one) with the wrong Vin plate on it ooo
So told to remove it so he could not see it thumb
There are still some decent guys out there!

Excellent! Good to hear.

Mine has only ever had one brake-related problem and that was with the balance valve. Once it was freed (and kept freed), the brakes have always passed. The handbrake seems to have more power that the rear foot brake, but as long as it passes I'm not going to split hairs smile

well, there were a few....including the bonnet strut. I'm guessing the guy's never seen a Coupe before. I suspect he may not have been born in 1997.

so...I guess this means I should invest in the oil cooler lines that Power Italia want to fit...
