Hi,

As per the title. Have any of you uprated your Van (Fiat X250) from 3500kg to 3700kg yourself without the use of a third party company?

If so, any info on what was involved would be very much appreciated.

Nope. Used SV Tech, just a paper exercise cost £270 ish, but will save on road tax. Tried to research without using this firm myself, but failed. Good luck in going alone. If all else fails, SV Tech makes the process easy.

Hi,

I am very very likely going to use SVtech (already spoken to them, very impressed), but I'm also interested in what is involved. Just my inquisitive nature Smile

We used svtech

I did read up on the subject and Im sure you can contact the maker ie hymer etc and they will send you a new plate then you have to download paperwork from DVLA and send them all the details.

There are also quite afew posts on this forum about the subject so you could try doing a search on replating.

I gave up and used svtech lol be warned it took about 10 weeks for the paperwork to come back from dvla just incase you are going away on a trip.

Would they uprate the individual axle limits? When they offered to uprate my Chausson to 3850kg with the addition of air suspension they would not uprate the axle limits. This meant that the MGW was the sum of the individual axle weights leaving no room for loading 'errors' as you approach it.

Weight a Minute!

I understand that the uprating can be very easy. And cost almost nothing.

It has been detailed on here somewhere. will have a look for the post.

Hello Ray, how is it going?

I was told by SVtech I could possibly also uprate the rear axle limit if I had the Air Assisted Suspension and also changed the tyres to a wider and higher rated version.

Hi, going well but not as warm as the Med in August Very Happy

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