emissions copies

For petrol, both the customer and the VTS need a copy.
For diesel, only the VTS needs a copy.

Just read the manual 7.3 petrol 2 copies 7.4 diesel 1 copy

mercedes i will take your advice, we have just got a new gas/smoke tester that justs prints of 1 copy of each, the engineer said it keeps all tests on the hard drive so you can print them of again if needed,Our old analyser printed of 2 copies of each, but i will take a gypsys warning and print two of like you said its not worth the hassle for one piece of paper.

Cheers Gaz

My tester has always printed off 2 copies of petrol and diesel. It actually marks one as test station copy and one as customers copy so I've always kept one stapled to the check list (for the required three months) and given the other to the customer. I'd sooner overdo something than get into an argument!

I can see what you mean and I can see what you want to achieve but, call me wimpy if you want, I've got to the stage where I just want to be left alone! Certainly over an issue, in my view but maybe not yours because there's obviously a story here, such a minor issue.

But I agree with you that they need to learn sometimes. I'll tell you my story so glance away if you're pushed for time!
Many years ago, Fiat Uno. I'd just failed it and they turn up to do a "retest on a recently tested vehicle" so the Uno goes back on the ramp. Rear of both sills you could break bits of the bottom seam off (taking the spot welds with it) just with your fingers, right by the rear trailing arm mountings. I failed it, they said the bottom seam wasn't part of the sill structure, took photos and went away. I was then offered a formal warning for incorrect test standards, which Pi++ed me well off! I wrote back saying, basically, that if there is no bottom seam left so the sill is flapping in the breeze do you even have a sill structure? In short their reply was along the lines of "Well, you've got us this time but don't let it happen again!"

i have no love or vosa i just want to be left alone so if they tell i have to this our that i just go with the flow live is too short for there crap sooner they get privateised the better because up here in scotland they have shut every thing there working out off a poracabin in livingston that has seen better days and i here the site is up for sale

keep in mind that if we don't keep em busy enuff for them to justify their existence then they WILL be privatised.currently they don't have to show a profit,when operated by lets say siemens then they will.any profit that they generate will HAVE to come from us as the government aint gonna be selling em to spend more now are they?

If that where me I'd of asked him/she to show me where in the manuals it states 2 copies for diesel emmsions is mandatory,whilst its no hardship to print 2 anyway the issue is DVSA VE"s incorporating they own requirements and demands which just leads to more confusion,sometimes you have to correct them as they not always right.
