Was less than an inch from buffing the last ramp in Lisburn test centre and bottomed out on the rollers for the brake test.

wind it up before you go. Less chance of running into probs then.

sounds like that would be my best chance but might risk it, just might crack the sump on the rollers, dont think they would be to pleased though

You may be ok if your running big wheels.

lol don't think they'd be too pleased! I'd just raise it for the sake of 10 mins work. Save yourself any potential grief.

Its a silver corsa stevie, if you check my posts there are pics of it in the styling forum, I am pretty much always in Banbridge cause the woman lives there you see :), yeah think I will just raise it, and i'm only running 14's, so I will just take the safe option

lol firstly yeah is has to be able to clear the mot ramps, jack(s) and rollers. But then it comes down to sufficient clearance in the suspension and bumpstops, so if its 2mm from the stops... its a fail my brother. So raise it, if youve come to ask the question then surely you arent sure and would be a wise option to to satisfy the requirements at time of test. Also depends on the mood of the tester, if he aint be laid for 2days he wont be forgiving.. or is that just me lol
