Engine conversion

[marc69]

Yes, I had to do this with mine, you need haeded paper from the garage, then it must say what the chassis no is make and model, engine size type etc withe the engine no.

Get it signed by the owner and send this with your v5 and a covering letter.

It took me ages to get this information from DVLA, about 6 attempts before they actually told me what the requirements were, they seeemed a little reluctant to go down in enegine size!

The owner may just give you a headed sheet with thier signature at the bottom to save them filling it out?

Dvla will ask for a report if your trying to go down a tax band , eg from 1600 to 1200

I thought that a 1600 (1598 or similar) and a 1200 was in the same tax bracket as it's under the 1600 mark??

[swedge]

Nope it's still classed as a 1.6

[marc69]

I think it's 1500cc or less?

Yes 1500cc is the tax cutover capacity.

I needed letter headed paper/receipts/proof etc going up a tax band too, so I think they just like to be difficult.

[MK999]

1550cc is the crossover point, as 1.5TD nova's come in just under it at 1520cc or something

[Iain]

Ah bugger was wrong, 1549cc http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/motoring...le/dg_10012524
