They are making it difficult for traders to TAX vehicles now. The vehicle needs to be in your own name, which is understandable really as it proves that the new owner has insurance cover. It would be unreasonable for the Police / DVLA to fine the owner for moving a vehicle without tax if it has just been purchased. But I wouldn't be surprised if its happened to people before!

Looks like a SC Jag v8 engine to me, should be an impressive setup

Need to add 3" as its a 19" Rim. 28.7" Diameter Your 32's would be about an 11% increase

Most 200 amp mig welder will be around 13-16amp on 230v I reckon. They have their 200amp rated output at a lower voltage. So I don't think you'll need a 48kW generator or anything close to that size. That size of generator would cost you thousands!

Its on the transfer box. Well it has a cable drive to the sensor which is mounted on the passenger side chassis by the gearbox mount. Rear sensor you have found must be an ABS sensor. No resetting procedure that I'm aware of.

I don't think the police fitted HD front springs. The HD rears were just to take the extra weight of all the kit they carted around. Lots of springs to choose from so you should be able to find a suitable spring for the front.

I think thats only for one wheel. Won't be all 4! I hope I'm wrong though & I'd buy a set at that price.

Should be reasonably effective although why not look at designing a basic traction control system if your looking for a challenge. The D3's seem to do quite well without locking front or rear diffs. I am sure you could use the ABS components & axles with wheel speed sensors from a classic range rover so the parts would be fairly cheap & easy to source. No major fabriction required just the electronics & control circuitry.

I don't think the OEM crank sensor will work with ford EDIS. I think its 36-1 that you need, but I may be wrong.

It seems a stange idea, the car you trade in for £2000 discount on a new car must have an MOT & then be scrapped! Surely some cars are going to end up being scrapped when they have several years life still left in them just because the £2000 discount is worth more than the car. I feel cars should be built to last longer than 10 years, as the recycling process isn't very efficient. So cars shouldn't need to be scraped at 10 years old. The money could be better spent to help the car industry directly in the UK if they are looking to spend some Tax payers money. Rather than car manufacturers throughout the world.

What about some LED bulbs? Much brighter & low wattage. Guess they would fall within the law & they do spread the light quite well.

BMW v12's

I looked at fitting a Softdash but its a lot of hassle. Too much hassle in my opinion. The bulk head is different, so you will have to cut & weld the mounting tabs for the dash. Wiring is totally different aswell, this would probably be the worst bit. Heater & Air-Con unit different & the plumbings in a different location aswell so more alterations required to the bulk head. Steering columns different aswell. & probably some other challenges along the way. It would be interesting to here from someone thats actually done the swap though.

I don't think you need a windscreen but I think you do need a bumper. If you don't have a windscreen I think you are require to wear goggles or a helmet. I could be totally wrong though, it was years ago when I looked into this a little bit.

Q Plates aren't the issue, its all the hassle getting a car through an SVA which is the problem. The chassis has been altered & VOSA don't seem to like chassis alterations. I hope they don't make it too awkward for you. An address change shouldn't cause all this hassle, I guess they have seen what you have done to vehicles in the past???
