Did you take a photo or photocopy/scan of V5 before sending ?
More like DVLA hit the wrong key instead of Keeper Deets Change hit Vehicle Deets Change ...
No, the dealer sends the V5 off
Morning all, I have been playing with my air band scanner as I live in the middle of three military air bases 
The DVLA are notoriously up sh!t creek at the moment. It is barely functioning.
If you are SURE it hasn't been changed from standard then write in again asking for your V5S to be returned with change of keeper on it, send it by registered post. Deny there is any need for an IVA as there has been no change from standard. If you have got the little green slip you can ride around on it safely and if the plods stop you just explain the situation to them.
If they do not get back to you, start an official complaint.
I had to do this when they didn't process my temporary driving licence, which I have to have renewed every three years and they responded well to the complaint.
If on the other hand changes have been made, you need to take it up with the dealer.
I wish you the best of luck with this cos they is feckwits at the moment.
Please, will someone tell me?
Why, oh feckin why, when you drive a Landy and long wide trailer into a tight space next to a curved wall, can you not simply reverse it out again????
Especially as I removed two large plant tubs which were alongside the wall.
No matter how many times I tried, pulling forwards when it wasn't going right and trying again, the Disco just got closer and closer to the wall and when it wasn't the ffing trailer just kicked over away from the line it needed to be on to go through the gap.
I ended up unhitching and physically pulling the 750 kg trailer into a space so that I could hitch up again and then shift it. On thick gravel which didn't help at all.
Once off my drive I was able to borrow an opposite neighbour's empty drive to turn the rig round and then reverse back onto my drive and right up into a corner with no real fuss. Against the curved wall again.
Bonkers!!!
All those of you who are ace trailer/van/carryvan reversers will be chortling by now!!!
And I have backache in a different place to the usual!
Tis gloomy here but not quite raining just yet.
Have a lovely day folks!

thanks.. it was bought in good faith from a dealer, as a standard bike like any other. i've been able to tax and insure so the paperwork must be right, i can only assume they made a whoopsie. spoken to dealer who deal with DVLA on a regular basis, hopefully they can sort it out for meThe DVLA are notoriously up sh!t creek at the moment.

I did think that that might have to be yet another move.
Does sound like a simple cock-up.
all the best!

I think he is one of the top trumps on this.
Mind you, due to where an artic hitches, I fink one might be a bit easier to reverse.
In fact I am sure it is, although it sure is a lot bigger.
But as he does 'orse boxes an all he might be able to help cool my annoyance.

Being no eggsquirt on the subject, but have never been stuck. I do really think about the gaps I go in with the big trailers and have been nearly caught out a few times. So I do understand how easy it can be to get stuck
so sympathize with you mate.When reversing is always when Peeps muck up, I really think about where I stop in case I have to reverse and then before even moving back as to which way I need to turn cos once it starts going wrong and you pull forward it is always going to get worserer

Just done our meter readings and sent them in, as we keep being urged to do by the meeeja!
Reviewed the leccy bills yet again to see what fings were like.
You may remember I was "interested" in why our leccy was so high while we were away.
Well........... on our return I discovered that when I went into the garage to turn the gas off at the meter again, roundabout the first of June, after the wedding, I had left the garage lights on. Tw@t that I am, and dottir doesn't have a key to the garage!
So, two old school florescent tubes on 24/7. Plus another that I found trying to light itself up.......
Yep that has accounted for it. I feel a right tit, as Napoleon said.

Have to say It is really fecking tight in front of our house, as on the frontage we also have the other big trailer which is 16 feet long, (this'n is 18 feet long) 2 other Discos, Wifey's kit car and my kit car. All of which cannot be moved easily.
Plus as I mentioned, a wall which curves around.
Once the trailer was parked up, I then slotted the Disco in beside it and then W's Pluriel next to that. There is even space, just for a guest to park up!
But tight really isn't in it!
Whenever we travel with a trailer I head straight for the lorry section of the Autoroute service stations, which gives me plenty of room to manoeuvre. and am very careful when it comes to getting fuel.
It isn't the size of the space I have to back into, that isn't really the problem, it is the amount of space around it that can be a factor, especially if I have to turn it round, which was basically what I was doing this a.m. and at the hotel in Frogland.
First rule seems to be, in a right hand drive car, try to always reverse around a bend to your right as you can see better what you are doing.
But the low, curved wall, to the right of the rig curves to the left so I had trouble seeing it all the time as the rig was also curved to the left next to it.
Weirdly when we bought and picked up the trailer, we drove W's car to it and put it on in front of the sales guy to make sure it all went on properly, then got home and reversed the rig off the road, up the shared drive then onto our place in one fell swoop. Twas no problem at all! W lent a bit of a hand but tbh she always panics and doesn't give clear signals. Nor can I ever hear her voice even though she shouts at me.
Oh, nearly forgottid.

Don't matter to me
. But I do feel for those waiting for the 5pm chime to escape for a couple of days.I gave up at 2pm as I was leaking so much
. Seem to have a flock of wagtails on the pool cover, topping up on their food and a bit of a bath before onward travel to warmer climates.J
