Stick a post on Shiply and someone will be able to move it, I have a tow bar on my Astra so if you can find a car trailer close to flitwick, I'll happily help you move it.
Mine was very low on the rear and the tester passed it, the VOSA document http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20121107103953/http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/repository/MoT%20Issue%2031%20-%20Apr%202006.pdf mentions the cup so I guess they are all pretty low.
Weirdly, in the VOSA document! the...
I recall that the rear belts had to be completely removed, but then if you've stripped the rear for the cage then the mounting bolts and all will be in a box somewhere anyway.
Trading standards won't do anything as you've not given the garage a chance to repair.
You need to stop touching it and get it back, you've still got the mot issue. Even if you don't take it back, find someone who can and get it back, however, as you've started to repair it, you may now be...
It would really annoy me to do such a horrible job whilst paying for the parts, when the car should be back at the trader being repaired under the implied warranty.
Stop f**king around, you bought it from a trader, get it back to them and get it fixed. Point out the lack of MOT as described in the MOT.

After 6 months, it was booked for an mot this morning and passed first time.
They wanted to know about the engine conversion, they checked if the tyres rubbed, they commented that my coil pack could be more secure as it was zip tied to the strut brace, they checked the harnesses mounts and looked quickly at the roll cage.
I was with them around 20mins from...
I had a flame spitting, throttle bodied MI16 engined 205 that could not pass the MOT without having a laptop plugged in for the emissions test.
I got got pulled by VOSA at South Mimms. They checked the car but at no point looked at the exhaust or the emissions as it would have failed miserably.
I've just finished this. The easy way to get them on is probably the second best way to get them off, I used a garage in the end to get it off.
I clamped the new nuts on the bolt with a set of molegrips and then locked them in place with another set of grips on the ARB. I then used a 1/4" 10mm...
