Now in the scheme of things and the price of spares for washing machines etc this does not appear to be an amount to be pulling one's hair out over.

My query is, would this be the correct price for the complete part for part swap?

I purchased mine from Endon Motors in Stoke on trent, Lowedb was kind enough to collect them for me and I had change from £140 (They both cost £136 ish together).

That was approx 12 months ago.

Not sure if still have old ones, but if I do, are they recyclable? I will donate them if so to stocktake for refurb.

It is a Simple procedure, and checks both the Power and Balance VIS Motors.
A Check sheet is Included on How To use and Operate as well as what should happen.

Thanks again Dave (Stocktake).

Hi Dave
Could you put us down on the waiting list for the VIS tester please ?
Got a ZT which is not peforming and also making an odd whooshing noise, and an ageing (but beloved) 2.5 V6 which could do with checking.
many thanks
Gill Stephenson

Hi John

If any of the members are around the Birmingham area I can offer a tester to members. I won't post it though.

Anybody in Yorkshire can come to mine to have theirs tested.

Thanks for all the offers of help to test members VIS Motors.
It does take some time to Post Out, Member test etc and return which is why there is a delay in sending out.
List is now at its smallest for sometime but has become rather a full time job keeping up to date etc.
So sorry about that.
When the Meets restart up when the weather gets a Touch warmer there is also often a VIS tester at these, (always at the Yorkshire Meets)
and many members and service people and those with a T4 can also test.
It recently was on loan for the Scottish meets where a few cars were tested, and I dare say more VIS motors required.
