- balljoint/steering joint dust covers will now fail if split/damaged - inner cv boot now a failure if split damaged insecure. - driveshaft support bearings to be checked - dashboard warning lights (tyre pressure, abs, traction/esp/whatever its called on your car, seat belt, air bag, brake w/light, elec steering etc) but not engine warning light. - drivers seat must adjust and secure into new position - can fail for airbag(s) missing, insecure, activated .....and also same for seatbelt pre-tensioners. - rear doors must now open from the outside (currently on from inside tested) - reverse camera if fitted is treated like a mirror (view not obsecured, secure, etc etc) - wiring harness to be checked, fail for bare wires, chaffing on body etc - battery is now a test item and can fail if insecure. (common myth if that it was a fail before, it is now come 1st jan 12) - inappropiate modifications to steering, suspension and brakes. (inappropiate defined as significately modified from the original specification) - brake performance to raise from 50%, but thats delayed until 2013. - LPG systems, if leak smelt then can test for leak using a spray - Towbar 13pin plug to be tested. old 7 pin plugs can still fail for damage, insecure, wiring. - CAT must be fitted, if in original vehicle spec, 1992 ish onwards. - you can now fail on brake pipe, steering pipe and fuel pipe corrosion i think. before it was pass n advise. - HID headlights must have either self leveling or headlamp washers, aswell as meeting the rest of the lighting critera.

also its been stated that (ECU) modification wont be aloud... is this just having them chipped or that you wont be aloud to change the ecu..?

thanks for your help, i really just wanted to check that the halfords oil would be ok in the short term... i shall check out that website now though

i own a auto supra running a single turbo (510 hp) i need to do a oil change quickly - the only place i can find the oil i need (5w-50) is at halfords... Halfords 5W/50 Fully Synthetic Track Day Oil 5L., would this be ok to use or would you advise finding somewhere els to get oil from? i know the car was ran on valvoline sae 5w-50 full syn.. but i cant find anywhere where i live that really sell this type of oil (i live in west sussex- near worthing bognor area) if anyone can advise me on weather that oil will be ok or where i can get the sae oil from would be great

love this car... could someone give me a idea of how much a clutch plus fitting would cost... thanks
