Experiencing some very frustating problems which have just about put us off for life.
When we imported our F250 v10 truck from the states we were over the moon knowing that it would pull our Terry Quantum 295 rlts - no probs.
However, when we had the SVA (british spec standardization) done in Southampton we did not realise that the max weight vehicle that a normal SVA garage can deal with is 3.5 ton. So to over come this problem the garage down rate the trucks spec to 3.5 ton. Therefore on paper our truck is not able, legally, to tow our trailer!!!
We now need to find out how to have our truck re- SVA-ed at it's correct weight but don't know any garages that deal with commercial ford's.
We have heard horror stories of people's vehicles being impounded because of this problem so we are obviously not the only ones who have experienced this
Can anyone help before I drive the whole damn unit off a cliff!
