Default Failed SVA today

Well things didn't go too well for me today.
Failed SVA then as I left the SVA centre the gear shift linkage failed too.

1) Steering Wheel...no centre pad...make sure u go with the rover wheel!
2) Brakes...oh dear...the rear brakes lock before the front brakes...WTF! Has anyone else had this problem???
3) Self centering of the steering was an issue...but I can fix that ok.
4) Brake lights...this is a big issue...they can not be seen from the side of the car...so now I will have to make up a set of 30mm spacers to ensure u could see at least 50% of the glass lens of the rear brake lights...oh dear...
5) ensure u cover all electrical wiring with conduit.
6) Fuel tank seal failed on the day...great!
7) My steering column contacts the brake pedal...just...has anyone else had this iisue???

Other than that there was also the engine mount at the upper offside...it ain't strong enuff no way no how...more on this later...:-(

John.
