110 Tipper.

Nearly all tdi commercial discoverys i ve seen have a gross weight of 3500kgs so the axle issue is rubbish. It's a mine field getting a 110 to be rated at 3500kgs as everyone i ve spoken to say different things. I know sme people have just sent off there v5 with the change and it worked for them I tried without success. My series 2a swb is 3499kgs gross which i Understand is dvla s default for most land rovers gross weight. Providing you have the correct info on your v5 you can buy a plate and stamp it to match that's fine and fully legal.

Plate and V5 reading the same.

Re the "axle issue" I was merely pointing out that all 110s up to a point on Td5 build were factory fitted with Salisbury axles as standard be it drum or disc brakes !

 

Is the figure for your 2a GVW or GTW ?

[treefrog]

Gvw says so on the plate and v5 I ve seen a lot like it too.

[treefrog]

Ah no worries regarding axles wasn t having a go just so many arguments from people saying you need to have the right axle to have it with a 3500 gvw.

[twistedhicap]

Ha ha yes it's why I no longer frequent landrover forums far too many armchair experts who don't like to be told there wrong from people who know and work on them !

 

Iirc the max towing weight on series is lower than 3500kg

[treefrog]

Yeah towing weights only 2ton

[treefrog]

Thing I find with land rover there's so many variables as I think it depended on how many tea breaks the guys making them had which then reflected on its spec.

Well after a lot of fannying around its ready!

 

I put HD springs and an antiroll bar on, other than that she's just as she was.

 

Chip bin volume is about 3.5 cube so no need to re-plate it...
