Between £40-£60...depending on exact areas, as it's a butt, sac n crack to be precise or manzillian or boyzillian  lol

he comes from the IOM and drives a silver jeep and runs the blue oyster bar...... surely its a gayzillian or lithuanianzillian

Mr Mechanic, i am aware of that, so the reason for posting as mr plod will refer to this document. the construction and use regs dont mention enough to give a clear answer except that it is not realy relevant as the vehicle is old and not aplicable to the current regs due to age. As long as the protrusion isn't excessive then there realy isn't a problem

[Panic mechanic!]

dave first of all its rob....aka bender,and C&U reg s are applicable , C&U regs are infinitely boring and definitive,more so than sva they would be the ones current at the time of manufacture.I only know this cos along with a mate we manufactured beachbuggies (in fact he still does) so i sat down and went thru it all many years ago and believe me that is one thing i would not want to go thru again.
I only mentioned plod as you will get some techo jobsworth point it out if they pull you over merely so they can give you a ticket ( cos its the only page he read).
I have seen a guy prosecuted for having the rear reflectors missing from his vehicle cos of a anally retentive plod.

i think its all down to how they feel when ya get pulled. what ever the mot manual says or anythin else for that matter. if they can do ya for anythin and they are feelin pissy they will do ya and thats that. Manda's jeep shows a fair bit of tread and she has never had a pull and i also drove the gt when bubba first lent it me with no flares at all and 12.50 wide 33's with no bother. the best thing to do is not attract too much attention in the first place but if ya do get a pull ya sort it then. anyway its not a problem cos it is also illegal to use the phone, eat, not ware a seat belt, drink and drive, have black windows but unless ya do any of the above in a mcdonalds car park your safe.

We're possibly talking section 59's here...

[Dave69]

yep i know the const & regs are a pain in the arse, spent time trawling over them when working on new cars for the chinese and indian markets, and they wanted to test the cars on public roads. If we got pulled then we wouldn't have a leg to stand on. As everyone else says if it looks tidy then you wont get pulled.

[Panic mechanic!]

i think silver jeeps are subject to section 59 aren't they?

[Bishops Finger]

Heh Heh..... :lol:  :lol:

[isle of man]

What about a 69erzillian....
