in a bit of a scrap muddle

Find out if anyone has a chassis plate and log book, for a Series 2, and buy the plate and change the I/D of the one that you have bought.

I can't believe you've just told him to create a ringer on a public forum :confused:

Apart from been highly illegal it downright ****ing immoral. and the last thing anyone should be doing. Don't ya think there's enuff stolen/dodgy/illegal landrovers out there without adding to the problem.

Especially as the solution is so simple. if he contacts DVLA explains he's got the vehicle in his possession and therefore the vehicle hasn't been scrapped and the previous owner has lied about it been scrapped. he'll get the logbook back off em. It might need a VIC but if the numbers add up that won't be a problem.
 
When plates are openly or have been available on E Bay, it's the people who sell the plates that are the problem, if you told me to put my hand in the fire I wouldn't, so would he do what I or anyone else suggested he do?

The fact that they are available still don't make it right. If you know he won't put is hand in a fire why are you suggesting it?.

No it's the people who buy em that are the problem no buyers = no sellers.
 
Right Red Hand, I did have a plate, might still have, and logbook, however no Rover and never have, how would I stand if I was to buy a brand new chassis, sourse parts from other vehicles and use the plate?

If you don't have the chassis for the plate and v5, to swap for the new chassis so it can be officially scrapped, the new chassis will not be stamped with the old chassis number therefore the new chassis will be 'q' plated and your plate and v5 are worthless if you want to do anything legal with them.

Should the end product not resemble the details on log book, ie serial no's original parts spec etc, if you build a car from scratch it will be registered with a Q plate, I read on here a while ago a percentage has to be original to keep the reg and log book. Please correct me if i am wrong.
 
Gratch, thank you for your reply, I will now send the log book off as vehicle scrapped.

Why - my understanding is that if yu get a Vehicle Inspection Certificate (basically a proof of roadworthyness) then the DVLA will issue you with a log book and yu can get it licensed.

fook - yu done half give up easily dont ya :rolleyes:

So, if I was drag a complete Rover out of a scrap yard, and use the plate what is the difference? Not so giving up, as I'm skint, and haven't got the money to do the Series I have.

do wot ee sed but hide yer landy as they might just try and tow it anyway i had a similar thing with a mates mk 1 transit exept that came back as stolen circa 1989 considering it was 1998 they asked a hell of a lot of questions but we had proof we rescued it from a barn near the popular 2000 truckstop on the m6 as we videoed the van before we did anything this went to court the van was siezed for 3 months while they try and find the owner and we got it back as the original owner was dead we then got all the logbook and police history of the vehicle from the dvla with no more problems

hope yer dont have too much trouble mate but i would be upfront with the dvla as they show a fair ammount of lienience for genuine people and are verry helpful to boot

The phone number is 0906 185 8585. This is at the premium rate and charged at 49p per minute. this is the main enquirey and info hotline for the dvla these are the people who are helping me track down my old series 3 any questions these people do have the answer to literally evrything :D:D:D:D
 
Daft take ya meds.. yu s getting confuuused again.. :doh: :p


explain?
The Vehicle Inspection Certificate was introduced in 2003 to discourage people from using the identity of cars that have been written-off to disguise stolen vehicles. The VIC confirms that a vehicle is one that has been in an accident, has been repaired and is being returned to the road.
The DVLA will be notified of any vehicle that has been written-off by an insurance company or scrapped by it's owner. Once this vehicle has been identified in this way it will need a VIC before being returned to the road and before Car Tax (road fund license) can be issued. Once the DVLA has been notified of a written-off vehicle, the V5 Registration Document must be surrended to them. Once the car has been repaired and a VIC issued, the DVLA will issue a replacement V5 document enabling the owner to obtain their Car Tax.

My interpretation of that is that the OP could take his written-off scrapped (but roadworthy) vehicle to have VIC if it is the original vehicle, so that it can be returned to the road.
 
This might be where a Q plate comes in handy?

Not sure on the law but I guess if a vehicle is classed as scrapped, it effectively no longer exists. Therefore cannot be re-registered. Not 100% sure though.

Give DVLA a call 0300 790 6802

I re registered the one I bought off a scrappy, and put it on the road, a short while later, a letter arrived informing me she was not on their system, I had to have the vehicle inspected, and put on a Q plate, this was not recent, but can't see it changed much.

i once bought an old combine harvester which had reg plates but no log book.... dvla claimed to have no record of it under the reg no (bmw750c why was i not surprised) but issued another c reg number for it without any problem

How does the VIC work for this then, daft?

it dont - cos he dont have the original motor - but I was talking about Riggly wot has a motor and seems to have now found out it was scrapped. I think if he gets a VIC to prove he has the original (and not cloned) motor, he should be able to get it taxed and then insured. I may be wrong, but if he wants to keep the vehicle, I suggest he, at least, tries to find out more.

there seems to be a system to enable him to do this.
