Down plate

[Simon Meadwell]

If the GM congestion charge applies to me at £60 per day i am seriously thinking of downplating .
We have an A class at 3650kg. How can i find out if this was done by the manufacturer because it needed to be or was done by previous owner to increase payload for their own preference ?

Don't think you will know without downplated paperwork.
Best bet is a weighbridge in holiday trim and see if it can go as low as 3500kg and still be usable then fill in the V5 weight datails and a covering letter to those Welsh wasters, DVLA.
If it can be reduced DVLA will want a cheque for the RFL.

Thanks pj i doubt i can run at 3500 but will have to ditch a lot of gear and have a go.

When you apply to DVLA you will have to send them a weighbridge ticket.

If you can't get down to 3500kg in 'full trim' then unfortunately you're stuffed, or you'll just have to go away taking only your budgie smugglers!

Put all your heavy stuff in a trailer and tow that behind your motorhome.

www.vanweightengineering.com - No fee to speak to them about what you can do weight wise, although they spend more time up-plating vans of course. But for a flat fee they prepare all paperwork for you.
