MOT, Class 4 or 7? Defender 110 td5
Tim2809 replied to DiveTramp's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Dvla will still change to motorcaravan but they want pictures and have a list of items that should be fitted. A fixed toilet being 1 of the items. if its type approval is n1 and its gvw is 3050 then class 7 if its m1 its class 4 if they try registering it on the mot computer it will tell them what class it is -

Tim2809 replied to garryc's topic in Modified Vehicle Builds & Special Projects
Thats my disco that i put tub on after an accident, plan was to make a roll cage to sit in behind the doors. I cut rear crossmember off and fitted a 90 crossmember. I then sold it and new owner painted it all 1 colour -

As a recently retired tester who asked dvsa about the led bulbs fitted into a headlamp designed for a halogen lamp and how they stated hid is an immediate fail, they also said an led light source is not compatible with a halogen lamp unit so is also a fail. ive tested a few with led headlight bulbs and the pattern is generally awful and incorrect anyway. they were marginally better with headlamps which had the pattern in the glass rather than reflector. retro fitted led bulbs or light units in indicators, brakes, sidelights are all ok for mot.

There's no square plug on the back. Only a 7/16 headed bolt head so after looking appears is the level plug Filler is on the top

Whitehouse & son rebuilt it. There was some studs missing when I sent it to them, seized pins for transfer levers, seized handbrake actuator. On return all new studs fitted, new handbrake expander, all pivot pins replaced and sticks even painted up. My boss who owns it said the box should be in a cabinet its so nice.
