Went live today today i thought would share with you my morning to help/posibly scare lol

Logged my first car on fine but then............................

Came to log out and the system was DOWN!!!!!!!!!

So i wrote the documentation by hand (contingency) gave to customer

So i just did my next test in contingency mode.

On my third test i checked and system up and running again 2.5 hours later. So i have to enter results of the test i started at 9am as prompted by the site, so it now looks like it took me 2.5hours to do a test and did one in the mean time how wonderful!!

So to cover my bum i have now entered both on comp 2 (contingency mode) with explanation explaining what had happened this morning, hoping they understand.

I despise the mot check sheet and miss the vt40. As i am very organised i like having the time i started the test, mileage, space for me to put presented weight and room to write what bloody car it is!! as i keep this info with the emissions for my own good. There is not half as much space to write fails advisories etc.

My next steps took me to a re-test.....

I log in fine (lucks changing) then i think to myself what do i write the brake readings on? do i have to use another inspection sheet?

Also with retests do you now have to do brake test every time, even if the vehicle failed on a non brake related item?

Almost forgot i have 2 warnings about testing at 1am lol what is it with us mot night owls lol

You've done the right thing. Carry on and keep making notes where necessary.

I haven't bothered with another inspection sheet, I just put the new readings next to the old, and no you shouldn't need to do a brake test on a non brake related failure. The 1:00 am tests have been explained elsewhere if you're wondering. When you log the contingency test, sorry "retro key" the contingency test, I love that, the system logs it at 1:00 am.

It would not let me end re test without entering brake readings m8

Was the re-test from comp 1? If so then comp 2 would need brake results entering as it has no readings from the original test. If doing a comp 2 re-test where the brakes passed it will say brakes passed on original test.

One less thing to worry about. Another thing I have noticed, if you are going to fail or advise on tread depth. You used to be asked if it was a vehicle used on or after something like 1932, but now it has a choice between a vehicle used after that date or a goods vehicle used after that date. I don't know why because the tyre regs are the same for both. It seems like an unnecessary complication. Perhaps someone knows more?

Agree with the seats makes life easier. The tyre thing baffled me also

I can't say that I have noticed on the COMP I performance reports a separate statistic for the data you mention, but the only reason I could conclude for the separate data was to distinguish between commercial tyres and car tyres. COMP II for me is too early yet to decide if they changed the data entry.

You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

I did a 5 min test today, registered 1st test, system goes down while carrying out test, write contingency failure, start next test under contingency, get to end of test, 53mins, system up and wants previous test results, enter results of 1st test,(95min test) register 2nd test and sign off within 5 mins as not doing test twice because of system failure, vt29 kept and short time of test written clearly on it. rest of day worked fine though
