FAO ppl with engine change, DVLA info...

[Neil.]

sending off my logbook with new info bout engine change, got the engine size and engine number, and recipet from place that did it, when i send it away will dvla send me a new form for difference road tax, as it's 1.6 and will be a bit more then the 1.2.

Any other info would be great.

[Tilly]

yeah cause its in a different category bigger engine more tax

[locky]

?30 thats wot i gota pay :cry:
iv only got 2 months tax left, so im gona ring em!

[Neil.]

?30 for what?
my tax runs out end of this month, then got MOT following month, im sh!tting it, i knwo it wont pass and ive no money to fix it, im well fooked!

[ade]

?30 will prob be the difference left Locky had to pay on the tax disc going to bigger engine. If you had a 1.2 at start of 6 months then changed to 1.6 for example, theyd charge you the diff for the remainder of the period.

Up to 1.4 and its ?55 x 6 mnths - over that and its about ?90 I think, so my 1.4's ok!
:D

Wot you reckon yer gonna fail on?

[mikeoxford]

cant be as bad as driving for three MONTHS before evn realising it had ran out!!!!!!!! :oops:

[Neil.]

more like what wont if fail on...
well it seems to be drinking fuel, think petrol tank has a hole in it, gasket needs changing, i can do that b4 then, fumes from exhaust, things to do with the new engine...
not sure tho...
finger crossed. hows ur car now ade?

[ade]

sweet m8 sweet - running lovely (touch wood).

Just got a new polished rocker cover for it (will post pics at weekend) and hopefully will have new weber carb by end of month/April.

Power is much better - top end acceleration is ace and I've just got meself a digi dash!

:D

If you think your leaking fuel just leave it standing for a bit and check underneath - you'll see the signs. As for engine drinking fuel, that'll be mixture/tuning prob (u got a 1.6 injection?) - just pay the garage prior to the test to tune it for ya. Save you forking out for a retest etc...

Good luck...
