Hi Phil,

I'm sorry I can't help your query, but when you get it sorted could you post a quick 'how to' of the process and costs involved in doing this please? In a year or two if things go to plan I'll be looking to register my Challenger in France and have so far only heard tales of woe...

Many thanks

I've just scanned this from my Owners manual - it may be some help with the weights

This is from the Milners site page that has all the Pajero model numbers - they are the ones in brackets, I think yours will be V44P.
