...to hear you are back on the road John. Did BK do the repairs for you in the end; do you want to report?<br>
<br>
What did the ID check involve and who did it and where?<br>
<br>
Ball joints through club are £45 each delivered, so £60 for a pair isn't too bad...yet...!<br>
<br>
The 1850 was first regd 01 Feb '72; real early ones are on a 'J' plate, but its certainly tax free. Be interested to find the chassis number...

Alun - More details about the VIC and BKT are elsewhere (general posts). <br>
<br>
Just to add that what they do in a VIC is secret and you cannot watch. They can do almost anything - even remove paint, parts, fittings.... It is all a bit cloak and dagger and done out of sight of the owner. It takes about 30 mins. I had it done at Guildford. Others near London are Watford, Edmonton, Maidstone and Mitcham (I think). Some information is available on the VOSA site. <br>
<br>
My advice is to try to avoid needing a VIC - that way you can keep clear of yet more regulations!<br>

Actually I have put a longer post in the main Dolomite related section - not the "General" one.<br>
