I do think that there two many cooking programs on tv just to fill in where as we should be getting quality rather than quantity .
 
its always back to basic life skills . if another person can do it so can anyone .
some do it better than others , some alot worse . but we can all do anything .
health permitting etc .
i trained as a chef then decided i didnt want to do it . went back to butchery . later went on to other things . ran my own garage . took hgv and psv tests just for fun . worked for ats for awhile . done loads of other jobs . i get bored and move to something else. cant imagine having one job for life . when at school i did paper round in a morning . worked in a restaurant on evenings . on Saturday worked in a butchers .
my kids were the same . one is a manager for a big bed company . the other just goes from one job to another . he was a hotel manager and ran a garage at the same time . for the same boss . not me . mind he can lay sewer pipes . lay airport runways . just change your hat he says .

I agree Alan started off with Trust house Forte Barnsdale Bar, Mr Christie manager left wanted or asked if I wanted a trainee position at post House in York ...I declined scared of leaving home truth be known ....where would I be now? fell out of love 3 years in jewellery into the motortrade , I did a bit better than OK. earned good money. Left , new beginning learned my gas and Air con , have/got qualifications in both , back in love with food. Current gaff cook in the kitchen but really spend more time on building brand blah blah.

what ever you do be the best that you can possibly be, you will get the knocks for sure. but a bit of grit determination will always win the day.

Where and what I do tomorrow ...who knows

Apply yourself the best you can and the results eventually filter down good things

Mitsubishi said 2600kgs is the maximum axle load for both axles so i have a payload of 550 lbs.... so that is doable

That's what I for one like to see, someone with a positive attitude. 550 lbs looks so much better than 250kg.!!
Probably more than a few doom mongers that haven't actually bothered to weigh their vans.
 
I knew exactly what mine weighed and that is why i contacted SvTech SvTech to increase the MTPLM :hammer:

I am now a very legal and happy bunny :dance:

Neither SVTech nor mitsubishi can show me ways to increase my payload - but i am having it plated anyway so that the next owner will not have all this hassle - if they even care about weight issues
 
SVTec.

So are SVtec the ONLY ones in the country that can do this, having a monopoly is great, ............. for them!

I had mine done by SVTec,

Delicia Girl had hers done by SVTec,

A mate of mine had his mini car transporter weight changed by SVtec.

Was looking at a new motorhome last weekend,when I asked about the 3.5t GVW he told me it could be uprated by, yea you guessed it.

Not that there is anything wrong with them, gave me a good service, its just....competition is generally a good thing.

If buying new, is it not an option to get a vehicle with the GVW you want from factory?

High fat, no carbs. So you eliminate fruit and veg from your healthy diet. Enjoy but I would not waste too much money on pensions.

its my understanding, but i may be wrong, that UK manufactured vehicles have to have a VIN plate showing their weight - but my "grey japanese import" van does not have one

As SVtech where unable to offer an upgrade over the Mitsubishi figure, then anyone could have taken the info from Mitsubishi and make up the plate, if Collette had kept us up to speed on SVTech being unable to offer an upgrade my advice would have been to buy a plate off ebay and mark it up herself, been there got the tee shirt.
 
As I understand it SV Tech have the expertise that has earned a degree of credibility with the DVLA. That's what you pay for.

I would imagine an application based on the information within this thread would give ol' Brian at the DVLA a nervous breakdown, and accidental inclusion of some the dietary advice would probably see the poor b'stard top himself. :lol-061:

Because it would not have been safe to do so - if you haven't read this thread properly then i suggest you do - this whole saga was about me finding out if I WAS DRIVING A SAFE VAN and CARRYING A SAFE PAYLOAD. This was never just about a plate........ Should there be an accident. having a SVTech plate which i have organised, shows an authentic and trustworthy source has enumerated the van's payload capacity and that i have done everything in my power to drive safely.

Sadly there seem too many vanners( some here, some at home, and some i met on the road) who don't want to find out if they are safe, and just stuff more and more stuff into their vans and have no idea if they are a danger to themselves or other road users.

i am not saying you are on of these colin, i dont know you.

i have had private messages from some who say "pump up your tyres to 64psi - you'll be ok." Well no i wont do that.

Vans contain both flammable fuel and gas and gas bottles and a lot of wiring - unless maintained well and the weight limits adhered to, they are a disaster waiting to happen. i am mitigating a disaster as best i can.

That would be true if SVTech where offering to upgrade from standard.
But in this case Colette has the data from Mitsubishi and has no need to make an application, I was in a similar situation some years ago and just made my own plate, I also made my own vin plate.
 
Doesn't matter who does the plates though.
Don't think Colinmd was suggesting you made up increased weights for the plate, on the other hand, he may have been.

SV Tech only make use of the additional weight that has been designed into a model. Vehicles are sold at 3500Kg because thats where a lot of legislation changes.
