I passed the IVA today, what a great feeling.......The lads at Chadderton are sound.

Thanks to everyone on the forum for answering my questions over the months.

I'm going for the DVLA registering bit next, I made car from bits so I don't have a donor V5 and will have a Q plate.

I have got the v55/5 and build-up forms which I need to complete.

My IVA tester said that I need a MOT before I send to DVLA for the registration. Is this correct????

It seem odd to need an MOT after all the IVA tests.

I think I'll have a few beer to night.... oh.....and order a new steering wheel and gear knob.

Can't wait to get on the road with plates.

No MOT needed. IVA chap is wrong.

As above no MOT for 3 years.

Congratulations on the Pass

i sent off my DVLA paperwork with my IVA cert recently and with no MOT, although i still need to clarify if i automatically have an MOT now and how long it lasts for!

Congratulations.

No mot needed.

You need receipts for new items on the v627 form that state new and unused or receipts plus manufacturers declaration they are new.
You also need photos and new reg fee and road tax fee

I've just been looking at the forms.

If I've used nearly all secondhand mechanical parts and I'm going for a Q plate do I still need to submit the v627 form?

Paul

Also, do I need to send the origional IVA form or will a photocopy do?

I would'nt like to loose it in the post.

Paul

Hi, exactly the same as i've just done:

V55/5
V627/1 (add receipts for 2nd hand and new parts if you can)

All Photocopies:

Driving licence (both parts)
IVA Cert
Insurance Cert

Think that was it and i've just got my Q plates!!!!!

Has to be the original and you don't get it back. Take a copy for your own records along with copies of everything else. Send it registered.

...and well done on the pass. Where abouts are you? Did you trailer it to Chadd or brave the weather?

I used a car transporter for my original IVA and drove it back with my mate following. For todays retest I drove it alone there and back (Fleetwood to Chadderton and back), about 100 miles round trip and managed to dodge most of the showers.

What a buzz to drive it after all this time. I did'nt really think about driving it while I was building...

The brake bias worked a treat.

I changed the seirra rear cylinders (22mm dia) for cortinas (17mm dia) and fitted a Mondeo bias valve. If cost me £25 for the lot.

Congrats! I'm just waiting for an appointment at Chadderton so it's good to hear that they're a decent bunch.
