Reading the above article show's some glimmer of hope as the vehicle weight on the V5 may be wrong?
Mmmmm after reading this http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/lez/2526.aspx dont think the weight is going to help
-
Here's something else for you to consider - http://www.glencoyne.co.uk/motclass.htm
It's a commentary about revenue weight and where from January 2010 Land Rover's with a revenue weight of 3000kg and over will be eligible to have an MOT.
There appears to be considerable confusion which needs a common sense approach from "government" to provide a fair and sensible way forward.
Any chance of that I doubt it!

-
Rubbish!! Since mine is a genuine CSW do you think i have grounds to get the revenue weight removed from the v5? Its not a commercial vehicle!
I also said that mine is not a commercial vehicle, she stated that it does not come into it anyway if the gross weight is near the 3499 amount
-
She said weight was just one of the factors involved for Land Rovers, TBH the mot is F all at the moment compared to the LEZ problem

After two days of trying i have just spoken to a manager and apparently the information i was given monday was wrong
.They are awaiting the public enquiry's finding's re the suspension which are looking to be favourable, this they hope to announce early next year.
So finger's crossed we will all be compliant until 2012 at least.
The problem is i have been told that what you have regards body type on the v5 means nothing as they also go on your vehicle weight so as on my v5 it says 3499 gross weight i am non compliant even if it say's estate or station wagon therefore there is no point in changing it from Light Utility
:Hope that all make's sense

They are almost certain to be
Slindon
Tixover
West Harptree
Colney Green plus two others but location's haven't been matched to date's as far as i'm aware

not what I am told.
By someone who only sell's Champion by any chance.........?
-
Please tell us more, Bowyer would disagree and Champion winches general reliability would support that...
-
Right i decided to ring instead of emailing and after speaking to two separate people it seems the compliance checker has not been updated.
The supervisor i spoke to said that Defenders were re-classified earlier in the year to be compliant, he has given me a direct number to speak to the relevant department as he could not get though himself.
-
"Diesel Car"
I have spoken and written, and had assurances that they are "looking into the classification of defenders"
I too had this via email, saying that a decision would be made nearer the time.
Which could be a fat lot of good if they decide against us weeks before the date
I have sent another email

From my understanding, Pre 2000 vehicles do not have to adhere to emissions laws, hence they can't enforce it in the LEM. This is only in relation to vehicles that are private, don't know about commercial registrations.
The reason I know is my 1989 110 is LEM exempt, it is a private vehicle though an down on the V5 as an estate.
I reckon the files TFL check are linked to the DVLA, so once it is changed there you should be cool, also that is your proof if it ever went to court.
Totally wrong, its down to Land rover classing most as Light utilty's to get around crash testing.
My 1994 300tdi is non-compliant in Oct next year
Your's is exempt as its an estate on the V5
-
Just found out today that Boris's suspension was overturned by the EU and now comes into effect 4Th Oct 2010

We use a TDS on the rear of our comp truck, not had any problems and have done a whole season of comps with it.
Value for money you can't beat them.
Ditto, apart from the doing a whole season bit
-
Its the same winch made in the same chinese factory.
To a different spec
-
Only the clock and any stereo settings IMO, thats all i lost
-
depends on what you want it for, serious winching or a bit of green laning. if you can afford a bit more then look at a Superwinch EP9, i and many others use this winch...
winches are very much "you get what you pay for" last thing you want is for it to let you down when your really stuck
You've been out of the loop too long H
around that price range, cheaper actually, the winch of choice would have to be the TDS -
I'm not really "up" on the various models but it didn't seem a fair comparison anyway.
Two souped up diesels against a petrol Rangy not a Sport and then slag it for not being a diesel, why not pick a diesel one in the first place.......?
-
Perhaps you think it is OK to go out and make a big mess getting stuck on a green lane then winching yourself out? Sorry mate, those days are gone.

Can't see where anyone wrote or implied that above.....?
-
sealed headlight units, about £6 each from Paddocks....
but you'd get more illumination holding a candle out at arms length as you drive.......
-
you can drill a hole to let it out but it then gets in even easier, eventually the silver backing will corrode (quite quickly)
better to just use some silicone or similar IMO

Devon have quite a few options in their "standard" range
