spare fitting to show him, if there is still a problem then it looks like the hoses will come apart in front of him and be rebuilt (with new olives)
in front of him, there is NOTHING in the manual that requires TUV approved parts.
NO You've got it wrong if the inspector wants to examine the hoses internals then he can bloody well take them apart and re-build them.
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

I believe Mad4x4 is dead right. I got the same result when checking this. The fittings comply with the spec.
Is there no such thing as competence any more? If the human error perspective applies to the hoses what about brake (drums for example) internal
assembly, steering systems.
Surely the test is to make sure they function OK? But the down side is that if you have an accident and it transpires all your hoses were assembled
incorrectly and failed ! - I'm sure you would be liable in some fashion??

PS ... Also for info
Personally can recommend CAM auto (on web) who had my hoses made to special spec by goodridge (only because I could not get the bulkhead fittings I
wanted and a special banjo for my callipers) and delivered within a week (over the xmas holidays!) and all for about the same cost as DIY
I was well impressed! They guy that runs the company is a star

and yes, they are the "nuts"
PS: Have a look at their technical tips section - teamwork - WOW
