Richard!
it is the same here!!! Our engines do have two different horse power
ratings on the documents: one is the effective power of the engine... the
other one is the "Govt" power... (for road taxing!).
I would like to know... if it is the Brit Govt who copied our system... or
if our Govt copied the Brit system... or it is just the E.U. (European
Community)?...
Please, give my best regards to Dave "Polsten", I have not forgotten his
request at Beltring and I am working on it.
Best rergards,
