Re the headlights. PRS bit means they failed then were corrected, same as mine.
Mine failed on the mirrors due to the mounts being over 2.5mm and not radiused. Can you do that?
Gary had a good go at my seats (grp) and in the end let them go.

Just driven to DVLA in Leeds (with car). Today is the day that, officially, new registrations are transferred to Swansea. By, they've decided
they want to inspect the car so I'm back over to the inspection office next Monday at 10am.
I'm really enjoying this process [/sarcasm]

It's worth it Dave.
I really felt that all the joy had been sucked out of it by the time I had been to the DVLA.
1 week later with tax disc and plates fitted and all the IVA bits returned to normal it's back! Spent the weekend playing and I love it.
It was well worth it!

Honestly no idea!
Chap said that he'd usually go back to the office and do the paperwork there and then but as of 22nd July (as noted earlier) this has now been
moved on to Swansea.... BUT he said he likes to make sure kits are done properly; therefore he will try and do the paperwork for me and if I
get a tax disc etc in the next couple of days he's done it. If not, I have to wait up to 2 weeks for Swansea!

Chased again today. "the team that processes these documents can't seem to lay their hands on your application".
I can't believe 3 months of turmoil and effort has turned in to this shower of shit. Bring back the local offices.

No idea! I just chased again as I was meant to be getting a call in an hour and never got one. Then after that a chap called me back from the MASEP
department.
I explained to him that the documentation wouldn't be coming to his department (he deals with 'rebuilds' and 'number
transfer' and that the documentation and evidence supported the car going on a '13 plate. He sounded as though he had a lightbulb moment,
said "we're making progress now" and then said he'd call me back.
That was an hour ago. If he confirms it can go on a new reg I'm half tempted to tell him to wait till Sept 1st to get a '53

All the parts required for a new registration were new or rebuilt.

I thought it was supposed to be all new parts apart from 1 reconditioned as new?

Sounds like you are going through exactly what I did about a month ago now!
I can give you a number of the office that will be dealing with your application, saves having to go through all the automated bollocks, number to
call is 01792 786806, you will probably get little help like me but this is the department that will be dealing with your application.
I advise to you would be to keep on there case daily as I did, and to make a formal complaint through there complaints team again as I did complaining
about the poor service. I even sent an email to the CEO of the dvla explaining my views on the complete lack of competence of most of the dvla staff
I'd spoken too. I think it was this that got things sorted for me in the end as things happened quite quickly after that email!
I hope you get some answers soon, but since Swansea took over the processing of applications it has gone to ruin.
Good luck
Paul.

kimbo; that department seems only to deal with q or 'donor' transfers, mine should be on a '13.
I phoned again this morning. It's 14 days today since the info was sent from Leeds - now "I can't speak to anyone until the
application is officially overdue"
Laughable.
