MOT Day

[daddy cool]

Had to get the dreaded MOT today. Very similar to getting a tattoo (for me anyway). Half way through and you just wish it was all over
Anyway sailed through (only 4 years old so it'd better ) but the tester had a go about the mud. Washed the outside, but the chassis, suspension and everything else was covered (damn motox fields!). Luckily he cleaned it up a bit although he said he could have refused to test it

Anyway, the guy in the office filling out the paperwork refused to believe what engine was in it. Told him 2.0 td, he said they don't make one, it's either 2.4 or 2.5 and if it was 2.0 then it would have had to have been petrol! (Living in the past I think)
Back street garages Should have told him to go on the Ford van configurator on their website but I thought I'd just leave him ignorant

hmm very strange our camper is down on the logbook as such but we still have to take it for a class7

[mikeyh]

if the inside has been converted for living qaurters(as in sink,cooker)
then tell ur tester that its a class 4 get him to read it in his manual if he still being a prick ill tell u what page and paragraph to quote him

[100ps_drw_hicube]

ye that would help a lot as the neaest class 7 is 20 miles away and there con merchants he tried telling us we needed a new exhaust on it as it had a dent in it some people must think you were born yesterday

[daddy cool]

Thought mine was a class7 but obviously not as he only charged me £40.

[mikeyh]

its all to do with weight
anything up to 3000kgs then its class 4
3000ks and abopvei is classs 7

but as i said if its been converted then class 7 goes to 4 lol thanks fuk as mine would have faile don loads

[100ps_drw_hicube]

well its a 3500kg but it is a pukka job it was all done when we got it theres a piccy in one of the galleries somewhere

[daddy cool]

Oh right now I understand

Handy having a garage and an MoT station. Shame you're in Scotland!
At least you would know what engines are in Transits

[daddy cool]

I meant shame you're not nearer, not that you were in Scotland

[mikeyh]

I meant shame you're not nearer, not that you were in Scotland

lol its cool i get that all the time

yeah very handy with the garage
although i would`nt just pass my van for the sake of it,not worth losing the station just for one van.

That's all our class 7 station charges us, the £49 fee is the maximum.
