Hi I cannot give you an exact amount but many of the bigger truck dealerships have a "taco bay" where they would fit one of these for you.
If your truck is later than April 2006 (I think) you will need a digital taco to keep in line with EU legislation. These also require several hundred pounds of further software for your computer so you can download the taco once a month. Alternatively you may be able to download it at the dealerships computer for a fee.
Your tachograph needs to be checked or recalibrated every 2 years.
I use the MAN dealership in Avonmouth and expect you could find a similar firm near you.
Not been stopped yet but wont belong before VOSA try! And as I dont have access to a weight bridge everytime I go out there is a chance I am over the limit of 3.5t
You are exempt from fitting a tachometer in some cases. Also fitting a tacho does not change what weight you can carry if you are overweight you are overweight.
It's a few years since I did my CPC but I'll try and dig out the exemptions to fitting a tacho. Personally I would try and avoid it as you'll enter the world of operating licences as well as having to sit your CPC, not cheap.
Fine is £200 plus
I am traveling further and further now with work in reading, hampshire and I am based in Northants big risk not to be covered correctly. Plus Vosa base is less than 1 mile from me at watford gap services and their weight bridge is less than 5 miles!
It really is a nightmare to understand!
