I FAILED. WHAT CAN I DO?

If your car fails the test, there are a few things you can try, such as removing the carb and manifold spacers (if you have them); changing your air-cleaner set-up; or, worst-case scenario, modify your sump and engine mounts to drop the engine lower (bearing in mind that this will have flow-on effects to other areas of the vehicle). Raising the rear of the vehicle relative to the front — raised rear suspension, or higher-profile rear tyres — can also be helpful if you’re close to passing, but it’s worth bearing in mind that these will be recorded on your cert plate too, and legally your vehicle must match the cert plate, ride height included.
