V5 mistake?
bitsilly - 21/4/09 at 07:32 AM

Have just got the V5 for my Striker back. It is listed as a Sylva under the make of car, but the model is left blank!

Is this a problem (theres a few cars described as Sylvas out there)?

If worse comes to worse what would be required to sort it?

Cheers
Ed

Just send it back and notify them of their mistake with any evidence you have.

I could not find one of my cars on the DVLA website - it transpired that the make of car had a numeral ONE instead of a letter "I" in the name - numpties

I had the same with mine (variant entered as make). I asked the person who dealt with it at Manchester DVLA and she said that the details are passed to Swansea to be entered on the V5 and they sometimes (implied often) enter the wrong thing. Also, despite the V55 asking for all the model/make/variant details, the computer would only except MAKE when doing kit registration and the fields for model and variant could only be entered when doing type aproved cars.

She asked me if I wanted the make AND model listed under "Make" (Fisher Fury) and re-did the V5 for me.
