    here goes.... the EPIC FAIL:
    • L/H Stop light
    • Cambelt cover
    • L/H park light
    • indicator flashing rate what the hell?
    • exhaust too loud
    • no polution pump
    • none pollution engine (wrong model engine) How so? Its still the same engine code
    • wrong craby surely thats not a RWC issue?
    • H/Brake cable hanging
    • bumper not fitted properly they are plastic bumpers
    • L/H rear tyre
    • Rust L/H sill and floor crushed both sides I have already fixed the rust in this pillar and its just the sill that hangs down that is bent cos someone jacked off those instead of the proper jack points
    • front brake hoses
    • R/H seat belt
    • R/H door adjustment how can you seriously ping someone for this, it just doesnt shut it you push it sofetly


    personally some of the stuff there is bollocks, someone please tell me im right in saying this.

    That's not all bad.

    • L/H Stop light - Easy Fix
    • Cambelt cover - I've got one here with all the mounts(It's red!)
    • L/H park light - Easy Fix
    • indicator flashing rate what the hell? Too slow or too fast?
    • exhaust too loud - How did you not see that coming?!
    • no polution pump - What year was this car?
    • none pollution engine (wrong model engine) How so? Its still the same engine code
    • wrong craby surely thats not a RWC issue? Only if it doesn't meet emissions standards.
    • H/Brake cable hanging -Easy Fix
    • bumper not fitted properly they are plastic bumpers - Why?
    • L/H rear tyre - Only got yourself to blame for that one!
    • Rust L/H sill and floor crushed both sides I have already fixed the rust in this pillar and its just the sill that hangs down that is bent cos someone jacked off those instead of the proper jack points - Bend it back and add some bog and undercoat.
    • front brake hoses - These things are actually important - get new ones!
    • R/H seat belt - Could save your life one day!
    • R/H door adjustment how can you seriously ping someone for this, it just doesnt shut it you push it sofetly - Just fiddle with it for 15 min and grease the latch.
    This place seems a bit excessive both my '79 golfs got through RWC with no emmisions kit on them at all! They both started off life a diesels too and they were both RWC'd with petrol motors. One of them has a KJet 1800 in it that passed rwc! No air pumps in sight! This place seems pretty @nal!

    Getting around the polution pump argument is going to be the tricky one.

    Might be simpler to fix the easy/safety stuff and try again elsewhere.

    I know some of it is crap.. But there's nothing you can do about it. Just set it all up the way THEY want, get it passed, then go nuts..

    yeh the guy was just trying to fail me i think, i'll fix the safety stuff and take it to another place, its just a pre emissions engine in a 77 with a DCOE, it looks pretty clean, looks like the pump was never there!
    ARGH all gotta be done by next wednesday!
