Mines the other way round, he struggles to reach the peddles but never moves the seat and as far as I know it hasn't moved in 20years, so tested it last night and yep it's stuck.... pointless new addition as far as I am concerned as although Lynn is insured to drive it she wont as she is too scared... not of the speed but of the consequences of anything happenning to it in her hands

(DVLA and insurance not informed) Not so long ago here a young twat in a car like this lost control on a straight part of a duel carageway here, spun accross a grass reservation, another side of the road, through a fence and bounced off a treeall this while just missing other drivers.
When the car was recovered it was found to have a max of 2 coils per spring held in place with cable ties.
I would have thought any car with an engine conversion (with engineers report) would be fine.

this is the correct answer.

also to add, it depends on the individual MOT station and how anal they want to be. I think it is a good move, plus there are loads of MOT stations across the UK if one place fails you iam sure another place will pass you just for business.
