*HOW TO* Log engine change with DVLA

Might be worth my friend acquiring a dead engine number then..

DVLA should still ask for evidence of the change, so its worth getting that (even if they don't, your insurance may want it).

What engine are you going for thats 2960cc? If its a GM 3.0V6, thats 2962cc

OH lol i was going via the wikipedia page, says its 2960cc, its my van has already been changed and im looking to get it all sorted, didnt really think about it till i read this

I want to change my engine on the v5 before i get it on the road, its registered as a 1.2 but it has a C14se in it, problem i have is I can't get insurance on a Corsa SRi (which the engine is out)
Weird I think because I had a Corsa Gls si and the insurance was dead cheap yet its the same engine etc

Could I say the engine was out a corsa Gls, would i need to go to a scrap yard and find one to get the engine number and reg etc???
And is this legal??

yes its illegal would be insurance fraud

Has it changed since I was young. I've always just filled in the V5 and sent it off.

im about to fill my XE changes to the v5 now, engine number, fuel type & Cc all done! but waht about the 'New revenue weight' (number 22 of section 7)? is this just left blank..

iirc yes

Yeah, weight isn't required data.

Good good, all sorted just gotta get to the dvla when i get chance now!

Going to do this Monday as the last attempt via post failed. The DVLA said that I needed to re tax before they could change the V5....pretty difficult to tax as its still in bits not mot'd.

Hope I've bette luck going into the office
