Weight Certificate Reqd For Mot!

[DIRK BROWNFINGER]

Tried To Book In Cob For Mot This Week And Was Told By Two Garages To Obtain A Public Weighbridge Cert Before Turning Up!

Apparently They Need To Log The Braking Efficiency Now Which They Cant Do Without The Cars Weight.

Got It Weighed Twice Today But Neither Would Print Results For Me As Were Not Public Weighbridges.

It Eventually Weighed In At 1075 Kilos Without Fuel - Its A Ram Chevy Jag Combo With Coleslaw If Anyone Needs A Figure To Start From.

Any One Heard Of This Or Is It Just Me.....again!

Lemons Classic Next Week Chaps!!!!

Rubbish!!! The mot guy uses brake tester thing that get's placed on the floor and you go out for a drive/braking test. That's what they done to mine.

Had mine MOT'd today and was asked its weight for the brake test

[TINKA]

Had mine done and needed the weight so they could do the brake test, I had a copy of the mac certificate and that had all the information on it.

[David Large]

In 1989, the very first time I MOT'd my car I had to get it weighed and provide a certificate showing the weight in order for them to complete the brake test.
Never been asked for it since.

Still - It Is Better Than Having To Use A Captial Letter To Start Each Word!

Dirk old chap - at least you got there in the end. My MOT tester just pretended it was an AC Cobra and used those weight figures.

[DIRK BROWNFINGER]

Thanks chaps for your feedback - even on my typing skills! Could do better Dirk!

It must be the tester being over anal - he does remind me of Nigel Mansell now I think of it!

I had mine on Saturday, they used the AC Cobra from the chart all passed ok.

The MOT machine says its an AC Cobra anyway as Dax is not on the list, although its not that on the V5.
