Just noticed you're in preston - I'm only just up the road. Any reason you went to carlisle rather than manchester?
Mind you since I've got to wait until mid-june for my retest I might have answered my own question!
Going by what Mac1 told my m8 there is one tester at chadderton that is a iva manual nerd and very picky/strict.

465 rear axle weight? seems high on a mid-front car of this size?

That calculated weight = weight (inc full tank of fuel) + 75kg occupants and 15kg luggage per seat.

Excellent- where abouts? From what I have heard the inspector (as mentioned) can be very too the book whearas I feel a little common sense needs to be
applied aswell! And Andrew said I could have my re-test done the following day ( not that I was ready!) so as you say that could be another
reason..

That's also what I have heard. I had a evening lecture/talk from him once (as part of a group) and he came across very knowledgeable but also
very black and white!

As Adi says- theres a little formula they do and then work out the mid point of the car. It confused me at the time. Total weight is just over 600kgs
(still quite heavy!)

I'm in the Clitheroe area.
Interesting about the testers; I've had two, the first one I thought was very fair indeed, and has been very helpful, even giving me his mobile
number so I can check things. The second was rather brusque but didn't seem particularly harsh. On the whole the people there seemed pretty
enthusiastic and wanting to get things through. Maybe there's a difficult one I haven't met yet!
