I think we'll all have to go to venice italy where we can ignore the manufacturers overhaul periods and still get an ARC issued, unlike here in the UK where we are obliged to to follow them to the letter, in this wonderful pan-european level playing field we now inhabit.
LAMP 3.8.1 ""Overhaul, additional inspections and test periods shall be those recommended by the type certificate holder or supplementary type
certificate holders"". Manufacturers recommendation - overhaul 5 years. Simples.
It was the same under LAMS, but there was scope to sweep such inconvieniences under the carpet there, and its not exactly a new requirement either, its been around since 1996 at least, so prospective owners really should be aware of what they are lining themselves up for.
Brake disc overhaul - dunno, but you could measure them and give them a nice shiney coat of overhaul paint at least!
