Has anyone done a brief roundup of any of the main differences between these yet? Kinda big things to watch out for during a build...
Current thinking (im not going to trawl through finding the references) is that you need to be slightly quieter (under 99db), have a reverse in a BEC
and a fixed headrest.
Oh and youll have to save up for another year as its gone to £500ish.
I asked the same question of VOSA who sent me this table. I hope this helps.
Brilliant,I guess i just need to get a copy of the IVA book and read those sections and see whats now required. I reckon most of its readily enough covered tho?
Fuel tank approval 
not heard that mentioned before, have i been asleep or does that somehow not apply to us. Just about to go out and do the
finishing welds on my tank now!
Fuel tank inspection on draft IVA just says something like...
"Ensure tank for fuel is suitable for use, does not obstruct of foul other parts, is away from sources of heat and is suitably secured"

That was my first thought - it cannot be anything too complicated, what could they possibly measure on the test?

Fuel consumption???
#ANy idea what thats supposed to be?
quote:
Required Standard The vehicle as presented must be accompanied by
satisfactory evidence of compliance with the required standard
for “Fuel Consumption/CO2”
The test is split in 2
The Basic Requirements and the Normal Requirements. The Fuel comsumption comes under the Normal requirements and my understanding is that an ameture
built vehicle only have to pass the Basic Requirements.
So the fuel consumption does not apply.
See page 6
