Annual test good news

Please to say that our RML2532 passed its annual class 6 test today at ASD in Medway. The DVSA was very chatty and keen to learn about the bus. The new MoT certificate isn't; it's a computer print-out and everything is recorded on computer these days. There was an advisory on minor oil leaks on engine and gearbox. One of the problems of running RMs. If it don't leak, there's no oil in it! :)


f anyone needs a class 6 test at short notice, ASD/Lakeside Motors can usually oblige as they have a DVSA man there every day.

My bus number (if any): RML2532

Re: Annual test good news

I too use ASD in Medway. The no 1 reason for me is that they see so many vintage buses that although the DVSA staff rotate between ATFs, there is always someone on site with knowledge of what does and what does not apply.
