In the time it took me to pay my re-test fee, the good chaps at VOSA Leighton Buzzard had checked everything that needed to be re-evaluated on my car. It passed but not until I'd had to sweat over the speedo (it didn't seem accurate at first).
I also had to be 'innovative' about the studs around the windscreen as didn't have anything to cover them effectively - some grommets I ordered from e-bay didn't arrive in time (though ordering them earlier would have helped...). Incidentally, I used a 10mm length of washer tube, split lengthways, and unrolled over the stud to get it through. Just put a tiny bit of superglue to hold it in place.
So £540 (£450 IVA fee plus £90 re-test fee) lighter and a massive step closer to being registered for the road.

I'm building a Caterham Academy car in order to compete in the Caterham Academy 2010. It is a motor racing series for novice racers run by Caterham Cars. In 2011, I'm racing in Roadsport-B - the next rung up the ladder. For more detail about my plans, visit my website www.racing13.co.uk
