Hi Steve,

I used 450kg front,450kg rear, total 900kg for the SVA the actual weights are less of course but you need to be over for the test.

Cheers

Chris,do the axle weights you state to SVA/IVA make up the total running weight/gross vehicle weight with passenger,fuel etc.I think its called maximum authorised mass now and used to be GVW.

Yes, the design weights, i.e the maximum weights designed for the vehicle. This is to ensure that things like the load index of the tyres is correct.

Cheers
