how much should i be paying to get my version 9 my05 sti sva'd?

£2000?

 

Think you can 'rent' a model report,then pay the sva fees.

none of them have a version 9 model report.

 

So where do you plan to get one from?

 

ive already sorted that out.
there's two firms that i know off that have the model report.

 

I'm guessing from the SVA for a kit car that all kit-cars with a post 1995 engine have to have a Cataylic converter fitted for the SVA test and I suppose the dBA of the exhaust has to comply too.

Is this the same for a personal import?

If so, you can buy a Kit-Car builders bible which tells you all the parameters that need to be met to comply with the SVA test. This book costs around £18. Just have a look in the Which Kit? magazine, I think the kit car bible is mail order only tho.

 

You'll find that there are different rules for kit cars and production cars now. Kit cars certainly do now need a cat and need to pass both noise and emissions tests, but they don't need a model report (which wouldn't make much sense anyway as they're all different).

Production cars need to pass the Enhanced SVA (ESVA) test and have a model report.

 

If you get it done at Bristol I can't see why it would cost more than £650 - £700 quid all in. I've had 2004 cars done elsewhere and it ain't dear. The only difference may be the cost of the model report rental, but it shouldn't be much.

In my experience the top line for renting the Model Report would be £450-£500 and the parts required shouldnt top £100. SVA prep is a lark isnt it?

Just had an esva done it cost £190 for the initial test and £50 for the re-test at chadderton in oldham. They did however manage to blow the engine up in the first test!!

 

i been quoted 2k from david hendry cars,i got a quote form the first lad which was £1350 inc vat and then mr hendry himself called me and said it will cost 2k as i have to have a control unit/box which is £300 which converts the spedo from kmh to mph
cat1 alarm £250 ,£400 for the model report which brings it up to £950 the esva test's £600 which brings it up to £1550 and preperation which was £300 and £150 to pick the car up.£2000

 

I hope the car you're bringing in is completely standard or you can add some more to that figure.

 

yeh its standard,but thats why am paying them £500 quid to get the car ready they make sure it will pass.

 

Three hundred f*cking pounds? Does it buggery; £30 sounds more like it ffs!
