dvla problem?
Hi, i bought my mk as a rolling chassis with engine fitted (1998 zx9r) now it's getting close to registering it as i only have the sva retest to
do. the potential problem is that the engine number is not a valid kawasaki one, (i know this cos i rang them) so, as i'm getting a q plate
how much checking does the dvla do? does there data base reference with kawasaki? i've no idea where the engine was sourced from or whether
it's dodgy or not. how likely do you think it will be that it comes up as a problem when registering? i'd be glad for advice/opinions

i dont see any problems as long as you're going for a q plate
your v5 will just have the engine number put on it as its stamped on your engine

It's not a problem IF you can prove the date of manafacture for the emissions testing at SVA.... The usual way is through the engine number....

It shouldn't be a problem as its post 95 you wont need to confirm its age for SVA. And i doubt very much if the DVLA will do any number cross
referencing.

Can't see any probs for SVA as if it's a '98 engine you'll have to have CAT etc anyway.
For registration they do normally inspect the vehicle, if the engine no. has obviously been stamped (ie amateurish looking) or if they check whether
it is a valid Kawasaki no.(which I don't think they do) you may have a problem because although you bought the car & engine in good faith if
they decide the engine is nicked you then don't own it & would have to seek redress thro whoever you bought from. It's like buying a
nicked car, you pay for it but it belongs to the insurance company which paid out on it & if found will be returned to them, you would get no
recompense
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

The dvla bloke couldn't read all of mine, but that didn't matter. He just looked up the V5 for the original car and used the one listed.
Do you have the original Reg?
