Any updates?
Nah not really, started a new job this week so have been busy. Bandeds are on their way back to me as we speak. Car is in the garage on axle stands atm as i've sold the suspension in order that i can buy some new coilovers to get it that bit lower. Bloody useless dvla have still not sent the logbook back either! Oh and the gearbox is pi$$ing all over the garage floor! Might go and strip it now and get 2x driveshaft seals and a diff pan gasket on order.
how long has it taken, thus far with dvla changes??
About 10 months! I sent the logbook off as soon as i'd mot'd it last year. At the same time i taxed it in order to make to pvs, on the old 1200cc engine. The dvla then sent the logbook back saying that the car would have to go to shrewsbury for an "inspection" as it was currently licensed and i need to pay more for it obviously being 2.0. They needed to cancel the old rfl, then issue a new one there and then. Now the problem with this is that they don't open on saturdays, and are only open in the weeks "office hours", so i'd have to take a day off work to sort it out. (they were worried about me driving it on the road whilst it had no rfl, i explained this wasn't a problem as the insurance had then lapsed:roll: and i couldn't make it to shrewsbury unless it was on a trailer, but they are obvilously, quite completely, brain dead)Quote:

So i've simply waited for the rfl to expire, and re-submitted it with the 2.0 details on, that was on the 2nd of feb, and still no sign of the logbook.
I've searched on other forums and it just seems it all depends on which person opens the logbook at the dvla, as different people end up with different conclusions to their "engine logbook upgrade"
One word - tards.
I'll go along with that... when I changed mine from 1.0 to 1.6 they sent the V5 back with the new engine number but it still said it was a 1.0 so had to send it off again. Came back fairly quick both times though.Quote:
