BOV that vent to atmosphere are illegal.

Things that people get failed for include:

Pod Filters,

Big exhausts

Car too low (100mm is the lowest point on a car)

Pillar mounted gauges

oversized wheels

tinting too dark

Wrong globed in headlights (blue is illegal)

neons

This is just a indication on the type of things an import may be failed on. I have not mentioned the normal stuff like tears in seats, emissions, faulty lighting, worn steering/suspension, bad brakes, non compliance tyres and oil leaks.

Make sure the car is clean and the engine is steam cleaned. Also check the globes all work. When I used to do inspections, if there were globs blown or obvious problems, I would always have a closer look.

the dodge ones allways say will you fix it after, otherwise you will have to come back and we will have to go through this all again.And all you gotta say is yes they let you go and your safe.But what i find odd about it is that they can get reported for dodgy dealings.When the cop pulls you over and wants to know where you got it done at all you gotta say is would you like your car done at the same place orficer he will pass you with those bullet holes honest,your gf show some leg and tit and your off..I wish.....:)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
