I have seen the changes as well, but as Rebel said some phone numbers not always available, like Fiat was one?

I notice since this last update, most VT40's now have a help line number printed. I say most because of the last ten tests Ive done only eight of them have a number. And of the eight with a help line number - six of the numbers are completely different! Whats that all about?

Suspension components to me should be maintained to the recommendations of the manufacturer, this is also qualified by VOSA were they have said that they would rely on the manufacturer recommendations when a fail criteria must be made, so a manufacturer may say free play in a ball joint in excess of 01mm is excessive, and then VOSA have said that failer is only justified when this limit has been exceeded. Now 01mm free play in a suspension ball joint is not a lot by any judgement, so in your own testing experience you would use your experience and decide if you should fail it or Pass and advise it, if the latter then I am sure a tester would not say; Free play in offside front suspension ball joint, pass and advise? I think a tester would say "slight free play in the offside front lower suspension ball joint" as an example. It is in my mind the experience of the tester at the end of the day who by experience must make the right decision as to whether a component is safe to be used on the road, the manual is only a detailed guide to advise the tester in the first instance.

Wearing thin might on the other hand start alarm bells in the head of Joe Public who to my experience view an advisory notice as being written in martian.Slightly worn in the case of a ball joint or suchlike is of course an entirely different case.

Wearing Thin is worded Very Well, A new 10mm pad worn down to 9mm is slightly worn, service limits are a lot less and our requirements, 1.5mm.

Surely you won't expect a running commentry on discs and pads wear like; discs worn 05%,10%,15% etc or pads worn 05%,10%,15% etc. How would you like it worded then?

I noticed a while ago they've changed the brake pads one from slightly worn to wearing thin. You'd think they'd have the nouse to alter the discs one along the same lines without prompting. You are of course free to enter your own text rather than using VOSA's feeble offerings.

To find the brake hose advisory; Enter test results, click rfr, go to Brakes then hydraulics, a list of components present, scroll down to bottom of list and you should see brake hoses, under the title should be bracketed (slightly corroded brake ferrules) or words to that effect. I personnally didn't know that was new to be honest? I also not sure about what is new with Test abort and abandon?
