Yes.

I contacted N&B and asked what the maximum plate weight was for our 3500kg plated Arto. Was told 3800kg and they sent me a new plate free of charge.

I fitted the new plate, took a photograph of the plate in situ and took the photograph and letter from N&B to the local DVLA office where they gave me the correct form to complete. I had to hand over my Tax Disc and they arranged for a new one to be sent together with a refund.

I believe the total cost was MINUS £20. Yes, NO cost, just the refund from PLG to HPG tax rates!

I later uprated to 4200kg via SVTech as they were the only people who seem to be authorised by the DVLA to issue plates that go above the maximum issued for the chassis by the manufacturers. Think it cost £250 ish, but no cost with DVLA.

So what have SVtech promised you as axle weights if you do the modifications?


Hi Ray,

I couldn't be 100% sure so I don't want to give incorrect info.

Cheers

My Arto 69GL was designed for 3850kg and registered at that from the start.

All I had to do was change the plate. Like Val, N+B sent me one FOC.
