Weight plate on UK van

[Gyn_Paul]

My Citroen Relay (Jumper?) has been running on French plates for 10 years now, and I took it to a new CT garage for its pollution test last week, and the helpful garagist pointed out that - unlike French vans - it didn't have a data declaration plate (what I would call a weight plate, but I'm sure that's not the proper term!) and that it risked a fine if stopped.

I must say, this is the first time anyone has pointed it out, and I am naturally eager to remedy this oversight. can anyone point me in the direction of an example of one so I can duplicate the layout please (I'm assuming all the info needed for it lies buried in the endless codes on the CT?) ?

As a commercial vehicle I'm surprised it doesn't have a plaque on it somewhere.

I would suggest that you find the equivalent native French vehicle and just replicate the plaque from that.

No, didn't have anything like that when I bought it in Birmingham, and in the subsequent  10 years its lack has never been noticed either!

I intend to do just that (snap a quick photo with my phone when next I see one in a car park).
