drift_bear Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Since the car is finished and getting picked up on Friday I will be informing my insurance about the changes for obvious reasons, but what I'm trying to find out is how do I go about informing the Dvla and what do I do? Any info/advice would be great! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodalmighty Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I once did this and the DVLA said that the engine number did not exist. I told them what I had done (3.0 1MZ motor into a MR2) and they said not to worry about it. If I did find the correct number off the block sort it then. I don't think they really care. Lyndon.

Tyson Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Pretty sure there is a section on your V5 for this. Edit: it appears not they only seem to care if the engine is changed Edited November 25, 2013 by Tyson (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodalmighty Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Ok then I'll drop then a call to see what they say, rather have everything all correct on documents I can't remember the last time DVLA actually got everything right on any of my V5's , My Mk4 Supra is a 2.0 apparently.

supra_ufo Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 DVLA are rubbish, when I applied to get the car in my name, i other details such as add car vin etc and the colour, all that came back was the change of name and address no chassis was added and the car colour was set to black instead of the specified purple! I seriously need to stop complaining on here and call them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 They say there's two things that are certain in life, death and taxes. I have another; anything that involves the DVLA is automatically complicated, long winded and expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Since the car is finished and getting picked up on Friday I will be informing my insurance about the changes for obvious reasons, but what I'm trying to find out is how do I go about informing the Dvla and what do I do? Did you manage this in the end? I'm in the same boat. Nowhere on the V5 to make the change, and do DVLA really want to know? Insurance people were informed and they weren't that bothered either!
