Well I took my car for a pre IVA MOT today, and it passed with a few minors (but thats the point of it)   ..
Now its time for the tricky part.. the IVA application form?
I have figured out most part like name, address etc... but have a few points that I am stuck on and was wondering if someone could offer some assistance please.
these are engine size (sounds silly but want to get it right ), max road speed, max engine power and the weight of the car?
Now I have a 2.0l Pinto engine (is this 2000 or 1998?? for the engine size) with a 1.6 head i also have twin 45's, all of this is in a Cat E1.
Any help is much appreciated.
Trevor

Hi Trevor,
Quote "Now I have a 2.0l Pinto engine (is this 2000 or 1998?? for the engine size)"
No
The book capacity of a 2.0 ltr. Pinto engine is 1993cc.
Quote "with a 1.6 head "
Cylinder head volume not included in engine capacity. Swept volume only. Bore, stroke, number of cyls.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the extra info, your comment on "the book capacity" made me realise I had an old Sierra Haynes manual which has given me some of the other items I needed.
Does anyone know how long it takes form application to actually get an IVA test?? as the weather is starting to turn and I don't fancy driving it to the centre in a monsoon....
Thanks again.
Trevor

I always take mine on a trailer so you dont have all that hassle fighting through traffic etc in possible pouring rain.
You can also load the tow car with tools and all the bits needed to carry ouy mods etc as you go .
We had some time left after the test before our slot ended and were allowed to correct several items and even used their 4 post so the fail points and retest was for fewer items.
Plenty of time for driving after the test in better conditions.

I was going to get a mate to follow down in the truck and have it loaded with tools, but you make a good point... atleaset if it does rain I can have it covered  .
Only problem is I don't have a trailer (one of the main reasons I was going to drive).
I am not know for my patience it's taken me 11 years to get this car finished (since I bought the first parts of the kit that is) so am getting desperate to play with it.

You can hire a trailer for the day.
I bought one off ebay a few years back and has come in handy several times and has paid for itself times over.
Made the trip to SVA then the retest and the inspection at DVLA a doddle.
Just imagine if you have a breakdown on the way to the test !!!
If you lived close you could have borrowed it.
