Failing that, call the DVLA collectively a complete bunch of to$$ers and slam the phone down. Might not get your V5 done but makes you feel better
I seny my V5 of to Swansea a couple of weeks ago to change my engine and engine No..Received a letter back today asking for a reciept to prove the engine No. and EXACT cc.as well as info on wether it is reconditioned or replacement,all on headed paper from the engine builder.If you have not got this you can get a report done from the RAC or AA or an engineers report or a letter from the engine manufacturer.Whats all that about
take it you have gone donw cc size so because its less tax to pay they want proof if you go bigger they just change norm

Did you put cc's at 2000, or 1998cc (or whatever?) Sounds like a royal pain in the nether regions.
strange both time i have had a bigger engine its not been a problem
read here
just copied off dvla
Changes to the cylinder capacity (engine size)
If there has been a decrease in your cylinder capacity that affects the rate of vehicle tax you pay, you must produce written evidence to the DVLA
showing details of the new engine number and cylinder capacity (cc).
Written evidence can be:
a receipt for the replacement engine
written evidence from the manufacturer
an inspection report provided for insurance purposes
written confirmation on headed paper from a garage if the change in engine size took place before you bought the vehicle
If you increase the engine size you do not need to produce any evidence.
Yes you are right,I have just read that,dont now whats going on,I will see if I can get someone on the phone later.I didnt like that bit up a couple
of paragraphs that said "following major changes your car may be called in for an inspection".Hope they dont make me do that just for
questioning them.
p.s Iank no I put the cc's down as 1998cc

Sounds like you have had some right numpty who doesnt know their own rules handling your V5 mate. Give them a call and (nicely) quote their own rule
to them and they will no doubt sort it out there and then.

Well I have just phoned them.I still have to provide evidence because they changed the wording recently but have not yet got around to changing the website.The evidence now has to be provided in all circumstances involving engine swapping and fuel changes.Bugger
I would just not bother telling them , stamp the old engine number on the new engine if your concerned about it.

Most insurance companys seem to rate a 1.6 the same as a 2.0 so just tell them the new engine capacity, they dont care what the engine number is and
it would not really matter to the dvla as long as the number on the engine matches the log book.
