I have mine tomorrow and I will be removing child seat, air freshener, sat nav, child blinds. I have a windscreen chip in the drivers side obscured by the bonnet scoop but I am still a little worried.

cant have anything hanging off the rear view mirror, or a sunstrip if the wipers go over them, shorter blades would sort it if the testers an unhappy man

Ah right, thought you had sold your other one for some reason... perhaps it was just because you were talking about harvesting parts off it a while back.

only cos they cant test the belt but it's still a pass, dont worry about that, i'd be more worried about the chip as it sounds like it's in the swept area

My mates people carrier nearly failed because he didn't have all 7 seats in it, the examiner had the pass sheet printed but wouldn't give it to him until he went home and got the 7th seat. A return trip of about 20 miles as he had to go get his house keys off of his wife at work in order to get in to get the 7th seat.
