Importing Questions

[auzgts]

Hi everybody,

I will soon be relocating back to Scotland from Australia. I have recently purchased a VE HSV GTS and intend on bringing it over with me. Can anyone steer me in the right direction as to what will be required to make my new toy roadworthy in the UK? I was going to fit the foglight from the VXR8 and change the speedo facia to MPH. Is there anything else I would need to do?

Any information would be great.

Auzgts.

Hi
We have imported a HSV VE GTS. We had to submit our car for Euro 4 emissions tests, and a UK External Drive By Noise test. Special parts were required to complete this exercise. Is your car an Auto? Your car may not have the choice of MPH or KPH, need to check.

If you've been out of the country for more 12 months and owned the car for more than 6 months then you will need an SVA test NOT an ESVA test.

SVA is much easier and doesn't require the drive by noise test, or EURO IV emissions test.

Look up SVA on the web, or go here Vosa.

I wouldn't be worried about SVA, I bought in a bunch of cars and bikes (MSVA is very similar), and you can basically read the manual, enter the test, fix the failures and go.

To give you an idea of how easy it is, Kit Cars do an SVA test!

and when you do get back let us know and maybe we can organise a little get together of all the Scottish owners on here.

Most excellent mate! Listen to slooow, if you can fit in the box and just do an SVA you life will be made easy.

Thanks for the feedback. I am an aussie and have poof showing that I have lived in Aus for the past 12 months and by the time we relocate I will have owned the car for more than 6 months. So I think hat should cover to just do the SVA. I will drop a line to you all once the family and I are over and I am sure we will organise a weekend somewhere so you guys can show me the good roads.

Cheers
