Good to see the test was carried out by A Male ;D
Is that better/worse than you were expecting?

Thats quite a list.
When did the seller put it through the mot.
Not long before you bought it if my memory serves me. Do you know what VOSA is gonna do.
More importantly what r u gonna do with it now.

Whilst nippy, and being caught up in the whole problem with the first garage definately sucks cocks, the failures arent catastrophic. A couple of hours with a multimeter and some new bulbs will clear up the vast majority of the fails. The bad ones are the windscreen, bearing and handbrake. Although, when the hub is in bits for the bearing replacement, a good clean up and lube of the handbrake mechanism may give good results.

Yeah, its not so bad, I'm gonna get a garage to do the bearings and handbrake problems as I just cannot be arsed and the weather is constantly wibblepoo.
The rest of it I shall enjoy sorting out, the light fittings have been submerged too many times so I ma just get new ones and tidy up the abortion that is the wiring.

thought the tyre had a big chunk missing? no 17 on the fail list.... I find it amusing that your local VOSA is based on cat and kittens lane, given how nervous folk get when asked to go.. ps. I once encountered a CPS Barrister called Mr Crook ;D |

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

Meh.
I'd be happy if my old RG125 had had a list that small, or if that had been the list for my fav estate last month. Might look like a lot but it aint really!
Plus point, gives you all the freedom you want with the SJ. Nobody can tell you off if you modify it mentally, after fixing that lot lol.

Surely that's more than a warning for the tester?
Also, do you have some comeback against them for selling a dangerous vehicle?
