Just a couple of minor things let me down.

I didn’t even check the lights but the reverse lights are not coming on properly. I did point out that they never came out with reverse lights as standard but then they didn’t come out with auto anyway. No big deal.
I had tried twitching up the bearing but it was too tight at the next hole on the castellated nut. Inspector pointed out that probably means new bearing is in order.
I thought about putting a plastic sleeve where the cable rubs on the tail shaft catcher, which is all he said I need to do. I could have remedied these minor items in hindsight, but he may have picked something else if he didn’t find these.
He had a cursory look at the glass and didn’t question the rear window. He was particular about the seatbelts and a bit concerned about the speaker cut outs, saying they could compromise factory mounting plates if there had been any. No problems with the front suspension grease retaining rubbers being perished here and there. He paid a lot of attention to any potential leaks and picked some residue on the outside of the driver rear backing plate, which was where the leaking wheel cylinder had been. Overall the inspector was very reasonable. I wasn’t really happy with the way he was measuring the track but he recorded it as 1mm under maximum front and rear. He measured the exhaust at 92dB at 3200rpm which is a pass.
I will book the follow up inspection after 10am tomorrow. I only have to address the three items, it is cheaper, and hopefully not as long a lead time.
