    Hey guys and gals, hoping someone here can help me out.

    I own a 2009 Nissan Navara that failed the CVRT a few months back for chassis rust/corrosion (shocker, I know :eek:)

    I have had all the rust/corrosion repaired and the chassis reinforced. The engineer that carried out the work issued me with an RSA Engineers report to certify the chassis as safe.

    I am now faced with another issue. The original imprint of the chassis number had corroded off and the CVRT will not pass the truck without it being there. I have approached a few garages trying to find someone that will engrave the number on but I have not had any luck.

    I went to a main Nissan dealer and they said they cannot do the work but they issued me with a document verifying the chassis number.

    Would anyone be able to point me in the direction of getting this issue resolved?

    Thanks in advance
    Anto

    The main dealer document should be enough for the test centre.

    no, but not sure what difference it would make. Stripped back the paint, backed panel with a hulk of wood to stop the metal deflecting and it worked fine. Have the stamps somewhere.

    I'd also recommend DIY, a set of stamps is cheap enough. To keep it neat I'd suggest using a straight edge to mark a straight baseline with pencil.

    But there's no requirement for neatness, I've seen re-stamped VINs that Stevie Wonder would have done better.

    The below is a general 'signature' and not part of any post:

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles or cartons to avoid the DRS fee.

    Public transport user? If you're sick of phantom ghost services on the 'official' RTI sources, check bustimes.org for actual 'real' RTI, if it's on their map it actually exists.
