Thanks again, I shall take on board all the above advice. I've thoroughly enjoyed the build, and don't want to hand over the final tweaks and IVA to someone else. I'd also be concerned about leaving the car with the dealer (in the open!) for the 3 weeks between PBC and IVA.

Many thanks for all the comments and advice. It's definitely reassured me that I'm right in correcting any issues and presenting the car for IVA myself.

Hi I’m just finishing my build and am booking post build check and IVA test. I’d planned to take car to dealer, then rectify any issues that they find, and take the car for IVA myself. However I’ve been told that many builders leave the car for the dealer to fix any issues, and for them to present the car for IVA (obviously at a cost). I’d rather complete the process myself, but what do most builders do? And are there good reasons for handing it over to the dealer for IVA? Thanks Rob
