	Close, but no cigar..... ;D Went in, got it onto the system, not the easiest job, as the bus was taken off the road in January 1989 but eventually created an identity with chassis number etc. Tester fooled and asked me more than once if I was sure it was a Transit and a Ford, and not a VW ;D Failed on: No Dipped beam, no brake lights, and no numberplate light, I also know indicators are not working, and suspect it is all the same fault..... 2nd Fail point: Handbrake insufficient hold, just need to tighten it up a bit. Advisory : Slight play in steering. Have to say the tester knew his business, and there was not goign to be any unsafe passing of the bus, so I am really chuffed to bits with the result. So , all in all a great result. Easy fixes, and can retest within 10 days at no cost. Have a couple of pics..... Before: During: After:

	Not too bad at all! Looks like all the lighting probs are somehow related? Bus is looking superb, Grizz.

	Not sure, I have Nicola over and she will only be leaving at 9.30..... Have to fill in the pack of forms, and then send off, in fact hand deliver to DVLA in Sidcup, and then just wait I guess. Then insure and use.
