Final inspection was this morning, passed and is now registered for the road!

First inspection last week, they really didn't know anything about the defender, failed it saying brakes were worn below spec, no daytime running lights and parking brake light wouldn't illuminate.

Turns out brakes were fine, they just had the wrong specs, replaced parking brake shoes as worn, wired in low beam for DRL's and printed out the parts sheets to show it didn't come with a parking brake lamp from the factory.

So happy it's all done, pictures to follow shortly

Sounds like you took your series to a shop that doesn't know the regs or land rovers very well.   Should have gone to the sports car centre ;-)
Cheers, Bill

That's a long way to go from southern Alberta for an inspection :)

All turned out well once I gave them paperwork showing what was what.

Really happy with how its turned out, the little 2.5 NA isnt as gutless as I first thought it would be, I will swap it out when time permits though.

As for wheeling, am thinking maybe not this weekend but the following weekend, maybe 19th, unsure where yet.

That could work. Where do you fancy going?
