No but I spend a lot of time at a testing station.
One of my friends owns it.
Be a sad b**tard I like to know what's what.
Not being a sad bastid matey its good you want to know a bit thats cool, but officialy the handle part is not to be used to poke with (although we all do) so ive heard, apparently. You never know who's watching ;)

It can be quite hard to fail a car because of the rules ie play in a ball joint? is it excessive? if its slight you should pass and advise.
 
Thank's for that.
I do know if you find a good tester and by that I don't mean one who pass every thing you should stick with him.

right... anyway... i'll pick up some replacement plastic rivets from eBay and take a look at the sills myself, just to get an idea for how good they are.

If the rust has to be visible without removing anything, then surely rock sliders would make it a pass every time because they cover the entire side and bottom of the sills, don't they? (Never looked at any close-up)

And I do intend to waxoyl the underside, but in this crappy wet weather, it's not ideal conditions. Also, isn't it a little easier when the car isn't just sitting on it's wheels on the drive??

It's probably the inner sills under the floor facing the chassis.
