Thats quite an accurate reading. Who weighed it for you?

SVA I presume there pretty accurate

it looked a pretty expensive 4 scale system? if it wasnt

Did you actually ask them to weigh the complete vehicle for you? They usually weigh each axle individually and none of the weights on the SVA printout correspond to the vehicles true weight.

I asked him the whole weight of the vehicle and he said and showed me that figure this was on a 4 scale machine one for each wheel ?

thats all I know mate

Should be pretty accurate then

zxrlocost - 18/6/06 at 09:57 PM
