Power steering fluid
Clutch fluid
Diff fluid
Brake fluid
Coolant flush
Any help appreciated thanks [/u]

What mods. have you done to this E30 for it to require a SVA test?
SVA's all about things like what angle you can see the indicators from, and the minimum radius on the knobs of the switches, etc., not about servicing the engine.

I think he wrote the car off, bent subframe, re previous thread. I'm guessing the service is unrelated to the test

Why would you need a SVA after repairs? Only thing I've ever done is take a Cat C for a VIC test, and I think that is, or is about to be, abolished.

Needs nothing for a VIC, other than the VIN on the scuttle not to show obvious marks of having been welded in. It's purely an identity check, and nothing to do with the standard of the repairs.
Doesn't even need to be repaired, other than it needs to be able to move under its own power.
Last one I sent in wasn't even the colour shown on the V5.

Does it need to be MOT passable?
Been sitting for around 10 years except the repairing of the subframe and the head took off it has no other repairs so I'm wondering if things like bushes need to be changed before the VIC check.
