Noise again.

Sorry about the title, but I just had to wind Alan up a tad, however this time it’s not one of his precious Consum Bars.

Joking apart, this may be of interest to people with older cars, those that require an ITV
I copied this from another forum http://www.torrevieja.co.uk

We had to re-new the ITV on our car on Friday, and we needed a part for it. When we went to buy it, the owner of the shop warned us what had just happened to his wife. She had her ITV done in San Pedro, and when she was stopped by the GC, she was fined and made to have the test re-done in an ITV station in the ALicante region. This is because the Valencian authorites (along with most other areas, except Murcia and Aragon), have introduced a new part to the test, and if your car is registered in the Alicante region, then it must pass this test. As the test isn't done in Murcia, the ITV isn't valid for cars registered within the ALicante borders.
We then checked this with the GC and the ITV station who confirmed that this is the case, so,please be warned (and you can check yourself by asking at your local GC office), until Murcia add this test to their ITV, any that are done there are not valid on an Alicante registered car.

Apparantly, the new ITV rules cover sound emissions

ITV´s, I have just had it confirmed from my hubby who should know as he his a motor engineer that any cars ITV done in any region of Spain is valid this had also been confirmed from GC, who came in to see them about 10 mins ago

Thanks for the info Golfer,my car goes in Thursday but as its Alicante-Alicante,it should be no hassle for me.
Also laughed at your comment about me,why cant you be light hearted more often,Its better than having steam coming out of your ears,Finally the funny side is I do not drink alcohol,not because i dont want to,but beccause of probable life time medication.On top of it all I hardly go into the Consume Area.

Alan,
I WAS only having a little stir, especially as the issue is regards noise. (and I did say Joking apart)

However I think the ITV issue and could well turn out be an issue that could be an expensive lesson.
