'Q' Plating my disco

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've been told that 'Q' plating my disco is a good idea, mainly for insurance etc.

Has anyone had experiance doing this? could do with some advice on what i need to do to make it elegible for a Q plate.

Also if anyone has found it cheaper to insure, tax and any other things that may have worked out better.

Cheers,

Sean

Unless it's been chopped about so much there's almost no original car left, I'd keep it as it is.

As FridgeFreezer said, Q plates are not optional, they are the result of chopping/originality/identity, etc.

Q plates are not tax exempt. If the tax exempt date ever moves forward, you'll be paying and we'll be free. :lol:

Avoid Q plates, DVLA and Vosa at all cost. No seriously, if you've radically altered it and want to make the truck completely legal then DVLA will want to inspect it for a vehicle identity check. The chap who inspected mine greeted me with "I hate Landrovers" It was a bit frosty thereonin. needless to say £60 well spent and off i went to Vosa for an IVA (£499.00). Passed first time but a minefield nevertheless. Back to DVLA for some more red tape and another £150 for fees.

Now its a Q plate (V8) i find it a tad difficult to insure Flux charges me £520.00. full no claims and i'm no spring chicken.no convictions etc. Wanted full engineers reports.. spent a full day faxing reports to NFU whom agreed to insure for £470.00.

My advice as above.
