I got my CAV through the SVA test yesterday on the second attempt. Unlike some recent experiences reported on this forum the tester (at the Mitcham test centre) was extremely helpful - it was marginal on a couple of issues but he was happy for us to keep at it and get it through. Next step is...

I'm assuming some of the CAV owners out there have fitted central locking. I can cope with the electrical side of things with the solenoids, remote, wiring etc, but what have you used for the actual lock? The mechanisms the CAV comes with I believe are latches rather than locks and there seems...
