Cvrt axle weights

    Just got turned away from a test centre because the vehicle didn't have axle weights listed - it's (presumably) been tested many times over the last 18 years and passed last in May 2015 -

    They directed me to contact the manufacturer HQ here to get them written on one of their branded letter heads - they pretty much hung up on me.

    So did I just get the wrong tester on the wrong day or am I going have get into more detective work?

    I have found from an enthusiast site for these vehicles the values I need but obviously it's not from the manufacturer.

    Shouldn't they be on the chassis plate?

    Thanks lads - it ended up pretty much as I figured - I went to another test centre and it wasn't mentioned- will be staying clear of the first crew going forward.

    Is it a bongo by any chance? You can sign a declaration for them to test at the axle weights you find online, there's no need for the letter from the manufacturer.

    Not a bongo but not far off. Thanks for that I didn't know. Test was no issue in the other centre.
