ChrisV8 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Yes but,, you will have to have a Q plate as the chassis is not the correct type etc and will need an SVA perhaps !!! Have a look at this document, very clear that if a "secondhand chassis is used vehicle must have ESVA and a Q plate http://direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/BuyingAnd...icle/DG_4022486 They are getting very hot on this and asking MOT testers to confirm chassis nrs, not from the VIN plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big ives Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 so where do i find the number on my old chassis? ives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Just forward of the spring hanger on the off-side I believe. From what I read of the government website linked above a second-hand chassis from another vehicle would cause issues with the points system (being worth 5 against your score), whereas a new direct replacement 300tdi chassis will be fine as it's just a replacement part.

stobbie Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 The VIN should be just behind/below the front bumper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
