The 110 wheel and an aftermarket one I have won't pass IVA. The discovery wheel fits the column (110) and the switch gear (disco) but not when they're together. So I've got a mini wheel coming that should satisfy both.
I fix the drivers window catch and covered the door mirror bolts. Fitted the gutter trim. The interior light was a broken connection on the disco loom which required the dash out but that's all done now.

I can't help much but I do know you will need from a 300 or td5 both floor pans, tunnel and bulkhead flange. You will need to modify or replace your seat box and engine/gearbox mounts.

Head gasket normally gives excessive pressure and staining around the blow off drain (all down the inner wing). First try swapping the heater pipes round as it sounds like it's filling from the top and not the bottom like it should be. I'd also replace the rad cap. Next have a good look at the radiator they tend to leak with no wet patch same with the water pump again look for staining or a small weep.

Ok so I didn't do any actual work today. I have filled out the IVA application form and sorted the paperwork that goes with it ready to post. But I have 3 jobs that I want ticked off before I post it these are.
Fit the steering wheel (this requires the interior lights fixing first).
Front seatbelts (waiting for them to be delivered).
Fit rear number plate bracket and light.

Nothing done at the moment I can't think why.

Got home from work yesterday in this but found a core plug blown and a frozen engine on 45 clearly the leak it's had has diluted the antifreeze. D'oh should of checked it earlier.

Press hydraulic or fly.

My experience has been doors off the car (not lr). I found you need to hang the panel the same orientation as it will be on the car, I didn't and it was noticeable.

A little more done today. Front door cards done bar a bit of carpet to cover the mirror bolts.
Some sharp edge trim on to.

We have similar issues daily as has been said people pull out regardless. Unfortunately I think British driving standards are appalling now. Native driver are as bad as anyone else. I think there is no consideration or regard for anyone else these days people are so wrapped up in them selves they don't care about anyone else.

My understanding is it used to be altering the wheel base was a fail. But brackets, out riggers even front and back mods weren't a problem. However with IVA this was changed to any modifications to the chassis became a fail. You can add by bolting or welding to the chassis from what I can make out and repairs are fine but if you "cut" the chassis to mod it then that's a fail.

There used to be some water bags out there but don't know what they're like.

I assume you mean the square ones. They work very well I use one for a while. The only downside is after a while they split on the folds. If I remember correctly mine lasted over a year of regular use.

My chassis isn't land rover though it's foers.

Miketomcat, you're OK - look at section 4.7. I'm hoping that it also covers cars already in service that are modified beyond the DVLA points restriction and become subject to IVA (allaying my concerns a couple of posts above)
Multi-stage build
4.7 Where a vehicle converter is in possession of an incomplete vehicle or chassis built prior to 1 September 2018 (or 1 July 2018 in the case of IVA) and issued by the manufacturer with an Emissions approval and an Incomplete or Complete Certificate of Conformity, the converter will be permitted to carry out a conversion or addition of bodywork after that date without having to upgrade the engine to WLTP, as this would be prohibitively expensive, as long as he maintains the existing emissions control system in good working order.
4.8 More generally, we are proposing that where a converter modifies a massproduced vehicle which complies with WLTP, he will in principle be required to retain WLTP compliance by maintaining the emissions control system in good working order. Increases in unladen weight due to additional bodywork, for example, and modifications to the frontal area of a vehicle or changes to aerodynamics will be permitted.
4.9 We are also proposing that where a converter changes a vehicle category, for example a van converted to a minibus, the compliance required will be that applicable to the base vehicle on the date of its completion and prior to the conversion, because to require anything else would be disproportionately costly for the SMEs involved in such conversions.
Nope still screwed as no kit car has a certificate of conformity that' why they need an IVA.

Surely there are VW lumps we could use... they'll pass any test.
The first part is dealing with that as well. I don't have a major problem with where they're going with this tighter emissions isn't a bad thing but the average kit car build is 5 years so 3 months is out of order.

Unless your building an ibex which has a 200tdi in it and is nearly ready for an IVA I really don't fancy and can't afford to rip it all apart again to put a new engine in.

When I put the 110 back on the road I just applied for the v5. Granted it wasn't modified but it had been written out previously.

I've copied the one linked and emailed it but I could be done from the club to.

I was just going to post this I've also emailed the consultation.

Cough back on topic....
A roof tent is great but only if you either move every day or don't mind walking everywhere. As whilst you can put it down each time you want go anywhere A. Its a pain and B. If it's wet you or your gear gets at best damp.
Ground tents are great as well but again if you move everyday you have the damp issue and you need a tent that packs up quickly.

Steering wheel needs to be padded too.
