What else would you like to see on Comp 2?

Additions to non component advisories for Sill covers, engine covers and Undertrays. Correction to brake testing weights where applicable. For those that are not members of the Forum how about a link so that when we are currently seeking reliable VSI ( Range Rover EPB for example) a reliable information source is available is available. Nothing worse than spending an hour looking for accurate info on Internet.

a "previously tested by the local moody station"marker would be very useful,i can supply the local vts nos!but seriously jacking information particularly for the air suspension jobs that can cost 1000s in damage just by jacking em up(think q8 etc)would be handy cos sooner or later we are ALL GONNA fook UP SUMFIN. engine codes must be available from the manufacturer if no one else,electric handbrake information is becoming a must,cat/dpf fitments(again they've gotta be available from the makers)the safety recalls we were promised 20yrs ago would be nice,idiosyncricies of the abs/esp/tpms etc systems for the relevant vehicles,clarification of the assorted items they dropped on us 3 or 4 yrs back so that more testers are aware that they are basically a huge p+a exercise than seems to be the current case,a manual/guide relevant to the system we are now using as opposed to one that tells us to ring siemans for fallback testing etc,a helpline/email address that gets responded to in the same time zone as the guys that require an answer for the customer standing in front of em,enuff for you to be going on with?

I would like to see info along the lines of "your last refresher course was such and such a date and your next course is due in xxxx "
i.e. get rid of this CPD rubbish we've had foisted on us and get back to training your testers properly.......

And still DVSA will not put sill covers & undertrays in non component advisories.

From my understanding dvsa do not want to and will not add covers back onto non component related advisories - The whole reason I made that video was to highlight an issue that shouldn't be ignored. At least it raised some debate and I am pretty sure dvsa have seen it.

Maybe they will have a change of heart - I know we've all been in that position when we know there is corrosion behind a cover but can't assess it correctly to use the rfr that would otherwise apply.

The golden oldies dont look like that when they come into us for mot test,

This was brought up at our meeting last night and the suggestion was made to have separate advisories that go on the system but not on the MOT cert. I called it CYA advisories.

 a 2cv comes rocking up to our place and the last thing im gonna do is de stress!de stroy possibly....
