Engine conversion
right, i might be buying a car with a registered engine conversion, and iirc no engineers report, and i want to change the engine back to the standard smaller engine, how would i go about this, would i need a engineers report for the insurance?
thanks for any help, regards Josh
you dont always need an engineers report for insurance, i dont think sky asked for one from me but that was going to a 2.0
Send the V5 off with the new engine number and CC
I never needed an engineers report for insurance
PS what car is it?
certain 2 door saloon in for sale section with a 1600....Originally Posted by mk1nova_rich
Dvla will ask for a report if your trying to go down a tax band , eg from 1600 to 1200
DVLA told me in person at the office,that going up cc is simple in paperwork terms,whereas coming down cc can cause problems and is more hassle to do.
He told me this was due to tax fraud reasons,so they need to be inspected at vosa iirc
so most likely a vic check will be needed?
No it won't need a vic test all you might need is a a letter from a garage rating what engine size is fitted to the car
I had to get one for the dvla I was going to a 2.0 though can't see why they need proof of that as I'm not gonna fit a 1.2 and try to declare it as a 2.0
A lot of people have changed cc without an engineers report but that's going up a size not down
I'm guessing to you will need one though due to you going to be paying less tax
sooo it's likely just a case of getting a written letter from a garage confirming the cc, and then sending it off with the altered v5?
