Were you serious with the key thing or just funning us? How would they even know unless it is on a checklist under "Gas Cap Key Sharpness"
I mean, how do you manage things like knifes and forks?

Presumably the tester is only allowed a soft crayon to mark the check sheet with. If they let him have a pencil he might hurt himself with it

If it doesn't pass,ask him to check the radius on his ballpoint pen before you help him insert it,where the sun doesn't shine...😂 You have dotted the I's and crossed the t's. No more can you do..
It's going to be a pass,first time round 😁

Is a metal key seriously a fail, or are you tugging my chain?
Best of luck for tomorrow. 👍👍👍

Key is serious, as it HAS to stay on keyring when in ignition switch as it is by your knee. This is because it has to be with ign key to prevent you driving off with filler cap off. All other keys can be removed for the test. Ign key also has to be like this. Just think how your modern car key is - there is a very good reason for the newer shape - this is why cars have gone to push button ignitions - to save knee injuries in a crash. More fun tonight - wipers would not sit flat on screen so did not wipe properly - some fettling with spring pressures & altering fixings got them wiping perfectly Drove out tonight to fill up with petrol, the new tyres are really nice! Steering is so much lighter and the ride so much smoother, although the rear tyres no longer screech when you spin them.....allegedly Pulling out of petrol station may...allegedly...possibly...have involved several bouts of opposite lock Off to bed now as need to wake neighbours up at 5.30 tomorrow

Mark - Hope it all goes well for you - I'm off for a long weekend up to Yorkshire in the Javelin for the club's national rally - but I will try to check in and see how you got on with the test - but in my book it should fly through with honours and an Olympic gold medal - Chris

Fingers, toes and various other appendages crossed for you.
It will be an amazing feat if it passes first time as inspectors like to find something, if only to justify their existence.

When I used to build custom test fixtures for the automotive industry, I used to leave like a 550 volt line loose shooting sparks so that the Electrical Inspector could lecture me on that and then ignore some component on the rest of the device that might have been missing some obscure sticker that I could care less about. Worked every time.
