I was wondering how it worked.  If on 29th July they decide mine needs some work, I was hoping it would not go away immediately as that would be the rest of the camping season buggered.  Even if they supplied another pickup as a loan vehicle it would not have the electrics and tie down points needed to use it with the demountable camper.

 

Or had yours been for the inspection before 15th April?

 

I keep hearing stories of the truck being away for months, which would be fine if it was after October.

I think I first went mid Oct, it was 13 early December so needed to go in. I had to do some welding on inner sills, weld the DPF, and needed to change the Sump, as I'd already fixed with some plastic metal. Then just waited until I got the call early Feb. It went down and they failed it on a wheel bearing and a loose CV boot. So I brought it back fixed it and dropped it off in April

I keep hearing that.  Do you really mean the engine sump that holds the oil in the bottom of the engine?  I have never heard of an engin sump rusting through.  OR do you mean the sump guard, as in that usually rusty metal plate put there under the engine to protect it from knocks off roading?

 

Mine is only 10 years old so well inside the window and I was told it was the date it was logged into the process that mattered not how old it is when any work is done.
