Hi All, I am in the final stages of preparing my H4 for its IVA test and I have a question which I am hoping someone might be able to answer about vehicle weights.
Firstly, has anyone else had a full IVA test on a H4 ? If so have you had any issues getting the approval ? I have a copy of the full IVA manual and I think everything is covered but I am a bit concerned as I can only find info on people having the older SVA test on a H4. My father has spent the last 10-12 years building a H4 (not the quickest build ever !!) but has now moved to Spain so I have purchased the H4 from him & completed it. So far getting everything ready for IVA has been a right pain and more work than I ever expected ! I have been issued with a new 17 digit chassis number by DVLA as VOSA would not accept the original shorter chassis number originally issued with the H4 kit by Quantum. This means I now have to fit a new VIN plate to the car but the requirements are now that it must include manuf, chassis no, gross weight & axles weights. These are all okay but the last one "maximum permitted laden mass for the combination where the vehicle is used for towing" is causing me an issue. There is nothing in the H4 build manual about this weight but I have seen references to tow bars being available at one time so I guess thre must have been a max towing weight detailled at somepoint. Does anyone know what this weight might have been and more importantly does anyone have any documentation from Quantum showing this please ? Many thanks in advance, any suggestions or comments will be most welcome. VOSA tell me I must have this weight on the VIN plate but I would be interested to hear any comments on anyone elses experiences of the IVA test even if not for a H4.
