I haven't been online for the past week or 2 so I'm only seeing these posts now.
I've since been in touch with my local CVRT centre and Joe Nulty from Pro Assess.
The CVRT centre say there will be an issue if the weight plate doesn't match the log book and that I should have it rectified before having the van tested.
Joe initially thought this wasn't the case but says he can assist with having the camper plated to 3500kgs.
There are 2x plates in my engine bay, the Fiat one (which is blank) and the ALKO one which is 4000kg (I incorrectly said 3900kg in an earlier post).
I will be downplating to 3500kg to keep everything in order.
Another interesting point to note is that Joe said I wouldn't be able to have this changed to 4000kg again in the future.
I was hoping to have the log book and weight plate changed back up to 4000kg in a year or so when I've completed my C license and would be able to insure it.
Apparently they won't make changes to the log book to change weights for <3500kg vehicles for the past 2 or 3 years.
This is disappointing as the van has been designed to take 4000kg GVW so I thought there would be no issue in getting it changed again.
you say in the your first post,
"Surprisingly, the Irish reg came back with 3500kg limit so I think I just need to get new weight plates to keep everything in proper order. "
Have you actually done any research as to where Burstner may have fitted the builders plate,? on one instruction manual I look at (Page 219) it said, the id plate was fitted in the entrance way, have you searched the Van for it,? because they can be in the oddest places ,have you considered that the person who did the exam for the Irish plates, found the Burstner plate with the correct information stamped on it.?. and there is nothing wrong at all,? maybe see if you can find one. or ask in the VNT center who checked your van if they know where if might be.
