Woah, thats different! Did it pass ??

[murran]

actually yes it did. i noted a couple of advisories tho. 2 shock absorber units leaking and a brake pipe being caught by the wheel on full lock.

was really funny talking to the guy about it while i was testing it.
he told me it was restored around 20 years ago. he'd bought it 2 years ago. but it drove really horribly and only a couple of months ago he worked out the front axle beam was the wrong way round meaning the castor angle was negative insted of positive! spoiling all the steering feeling and self centering.
he had only just finished swapping it round the week before its test. imagine the front axle the wrong way round for 20 years! lol.

Haha, bet that took some head scratching before being discovered
