    Default Registering XE

    Im just updating my log book. I just wanna know where abouts on the XE lump is the engine number stamped? Also is there any websites where I can check the history of the car it came out of - i.e it wasnt stolen (I dont think it was). I havent got the reg of the car it came out of either

    Whoops

    I got it now, it has the engine code at the bottom then 14 142 184 - so its 8 digits long? Sorry, I just want to get this right.

    Yeah mine was on that face and started C20XE then had around 8 digits iirc, but as rob (novafusion69) has had his returned not done you may find they want an independent inspection before they will re-issue V5!

    I have a good garage I plan to take it to. Can I still get tax so I can get the inspection?

    I would imagine you can be baughty and tax it as a 1.2 or whatever it was previously as youre only doing so in order to get it checked and registered as a 2.0ltr so i cant see it being too badly wrong but thats purely a guess though!
