Well done, I said yoiu would be the first !!!

 

Bugsy

 

You don't have much luck do you?

 

Don't quite understand your problem with the HT leads, surely they only use that to get the RPM reading?

 

Like me, it will be third time lucky!!!

 

All the best to both of you, enjoy your drinks tonight !!!!

I haven't told Richard yet, probably will tomorrow (Tuesday). Just want DVLA to be as customer minded as the SVA test centre!!

Dredd,

 

What did the "Super Spec" weigh in at?

 

Was it mega heavy?

 

Kieran

[Guest Friar Tuck]

Mine weighed in at 408kgs front, and 383kgs at rear, combined weight 791kgs, but that is with Turbo. ( Don't forget that the battery on the Turbo car is just behind the rack, and therefore it's weight is all on the front.)

 

I would expect non Turbo to be around 775-780 kg's , I am sure that Derek or Paul will be able to confirm this.

Strange

 

Mine weighed in at 450 front 600 rear, gross 900

[Guest Dredd]

Hang on confused. Those are the desogn weights, I can't find a record of the actual weights. Must admit I can't remember the scores on the doors at the time.

[Guest Friar Tuck]

Design weights were 450 front, 600 rear , gross 1050kg.

 

Apparently the SVA testers use the actual weights, plus 150kg for two average passengers to check the efficiency of the brakes.

 

This is done on some spreadsheet that I was not privy to, but I will ask the question when I go back for my 2nd and final retest on Tuesday 5th October at 2.30 p.m.!!!

 

How did you get on with the DVLA, was it today that you were planning to go?

 

Let us know the ropes if you would.

 

Cheers
