Window Cleaning Forum / Re: HALFORDS........issues with tank/van?

I had the same issue with my local garage that did all my maintenance so when I took it in for MOT they would take it to local council garage where there was no problem with the weight

So my van was booked in for MOT/interim service this morning. I always take ladders off,poles out,etc,etc. I also make sure my tank is less than a quarter full.

Halfords would not MOT my van!They said my water tank had to be totally empty as it was too heavy for the vehicle lifts!My van is a connect L2 240. Lots of vans are bigger/heavier and its well within my payload.

I should of listened to you Danny!I re booked my van in at my local garage where I used to live for a couple of weeks time.

Ive never ever had an issue MOTing any vans with tanks in the back at local garages

What a jobsworth , a range rover is probably heavier than your van with quarter of a tank .

Pop the vehicle registration in there...................

https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/sachs-coil-spring-627820800?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=16079346400

The owner of that business blew his hand off messing about with a firework when he was a kid. I know him.

You know Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia ? You move in interesting circles. If i bump into him should i just say.... Bungle mentioned you ? or does he know you by another name ?

Think you will find he left the company many years ago it’s owned by an American company since 2011

You're good. I looked and thats exactly what i found. He sold it to an American company in 2011. Did you know him too ?

No I don’t know him , but do use euro car parts now and then .

They just look for cheats.

If you aren't cheating you don't need to worry.

They have algorithms largely on expenditure.

If I buy a property or a holiday home and have been declaring 20k a year and claiming benefits they will want to know why.

They will look at the year you bought the property and ask where the income came from.

They will look at your bank accounts.

They aren't worried if you have a receipt for a van MOT twenty years ago. They will just say 'you declared an average of 20k over ten years - how come you have bought XYZ big ticket items in year 7, 12  and 20?'
