So after 3 years I have finally got to the point of IVA. Submitted my application today by first class recorded delivery! I know VOSA can be a bit hit and miss but how long normally does it take from submitting to hearing back with a date?

 

I still have a few bits left to do, but the marlin is now at a friends house on a four post lift waiting to have the last few covers and bits of wiring secured where i couldn't get to before hand.

 

I've rented a skip for the weekend and pretty much filled it today with rubbish that has accumulated in my garage. But it is nice to go out in the garage and not have the Marlin there waiting for me to finish it!

To be honest I'm past caring if it passes or not first time, the test seems so inconsistent it's just seems like it's how the bloke feels on the day. If it fails I will get a list of things to sort... In my head it's easier to work to set targets than Wooly guidelines that can be interpreted different ways!! It won't fail on anything major!

having just gone through the process over the last few months here are some tips

 

keep an eye on emails, they will give you updates

read them carefully as one of them tells you to ring a number they give you to arrange appointment. (never got anything through the post it was all via email).

 

be prepared to change test centre, i went for Peterborough (now shut), Norwich (very long waiting list) and ended up at Leighton Buzzard, this was 1 months wait although could of had an earlier one, but i was on holiday, then retest 3 weeks later. I can say Leighton buzzard inspectors were friendly and helpful apart from when they ragged it on the rolling road for speed test 3 times!!!! engine did not like that without any cool air. there was a fault with the speedo testing equipment!!

 

then when you pass, send to

kits and rebuild D4 .
DVLA Swansea

S99 1ZZ

it took 2 weeks to get registration

 

you need to insure it as well before you send for registration and tax, you insure it on the chassis number.

 

good luck.
