i've nearly finished converting my Qreg car from a xflow to 998cc R1 engine, can anyone tell me what tax i'll have to pay, its sorn at the moment, will i save owt buying a disc early?
You will need to go to the local DVLA office to get the paperwork sorted but you should then get the cheaper rate of £115 or so per year.
Did this recently on a fellow member's car with same conversion. Took the car to a pre-arranged MOT and had them confirm the change of engine to
Yamaha R1 on letterheaded paper. Took this along with the V5 showing change in engine capacity and engine number to the DVLA local office. I also had
the Haynes manual with me to confirm the engine capacity - cant remember if they took a copy of this but if you have one then take it to be sure. You
also need to take the insurance and MOT certificate
Was all pretty simple really, they sorted the paperwork in 10 or 15 mins, took the V5 off me along with the cash and gave me the tax disk
cheers for the reply, i've already got the v5 back showing 998cc, the car is insured as 998cc and i have a current mot all be it from before the
engine change.
might take it all to the PO see what they say?
Should be fine then at any Post Office.......or you can tax it online and be covered immediately

Yup told insurer it was a Yamaha R1 engine and he kindly increased the cost for me.
