that's not a legal requirement.. people do it 'just in case'what he did wrong was not keeping the section of old chassis with the vin to match the V5

How about this for a scenario? You get pulled, police suspect your vehicle is constructed from stolen parts. They inform you that they are seizing your vehicle to carry out further inspections to which you respond by saying 'this is my vehicle, I stand by it and if you are implying that I am in any way a criminal then I demand that you place me under arrest right this minute so that I can be represented immediately by my legal representative who shall happily discuss the facts at the station, and upon establishing both the innocence of myself and my vehicle, will promptly file a report against you to the IPCC'. I know they're only doing their job and we all want to protect our landy's but if the police are understaffed they should be tackling one thing at a time, not taking someone's pride and joy and leaving it to rot until they can be arsed.
He wasn't impressed by the stonking great car battery in the helmet compartment either!
It was to contest my at-the-time girlfriends 9-volter.Whats a car battery doing in your trousers ? Lol
no you would add up the points and if you don't have enough then you *should* get it looked atOk if I've got this right from what some of you guys are saying, let's just say I had a 1994 county 110 300tdi.
Over the years I replaced all the doors with series ones, put a second hand refurbished bulkhead on it, replaced the rear tub and c pillars and fitted a later suffix gearbox I would have to get it inspected?
How many land rovers are riding around with original doors chassis and bulkheads out there not to mention tdi v8 and 5 speed conversions?
I wish you all the luck getting it back it must be guttering to be in your situation.
so if the vehicle has not got an id! how is it insured??? it could be classed as anythinginsurance and mots have nothing to do with vehicle ids.
the id is tied to the chassis as most cars are monocoque.. vehicles with a separate chassis, like defenders, are a bit of a bodge to fit in the rules.
changing/modding the body and most other parts doesn't make any difference to the id
the chassis can be new, it just needs to be original spec for the vehicle.. you'll get away with it having slightly different mounts imo, but not cut 100cm short.

Cannot believe I’m writing this but 3 years on and I’ve finally got back my Land Rover today! They have removed the engine and gearbox and told me I need to re register it as the f registration doesn’t relate to the vehicle? So has anyone got a 300tdi engine and r380 gearbox for sale .......
Basically I’ve sat waiting all this time for them to say the engine and gearbox were from a stolen land rover that went missing years ago and as my chassis doesn’t have a number stamped into it then the f registration plate that was on my 90 doesn’t relate to it anymore? It’s early days I need to speak to my solicitor tomorrow to see exactly what I need to do, but I got a phone call from the storage facility saying I had to collect it today before they closed (30 mins before closing) so it was a bit of a rush to get a rec truck to pick it up but it’s back home now just need to find an engine and box and go from thereGood news. Fancy posting more details on exactly what happened, what there is investigation conclusion was, how you got it back etc etc. Maybe helpful for future members if they find themselves into this situation
