Ok so we've got:
  • Indicators at the front fail as they are too far away from the sides of the car so they need to go on brackets
  • Headlights fail for being too low - wined the suspension up to pass.
  • Leaky tanks - not pressure tested by Marlin so you have to do this
  • Suspension issues if not fix properly on the E36 kit
  • Hand brake compensation mechanism - may not be an issue depending on your examiner, Andy had problems with this on his car.
  • Seat belt anchorage bar likely to fail - very flimsy design from the pics I've seen on the "build manual" cd so a more ridge design or seats with harness holes should do it!
  • Steering column and shaft not designed to minimise upper column displacement in impact - can be fixed with an after market wheel that has a collapsible boss

I picked a few that seemed more kit specific out of Andy's thread.

Any more?
