Daan Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 That's an odd one. Police, someone stole my engine, really! O, just fit another engine and ring the car with the registration of the new engine, and everything will be fine. That is a rather brave ebay advert and not one I would bid on .

Les Henson Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 So has this one got a leaf sprung series chassis then? No - you can see the coils in one of the pictures. From the text it looks like he bought an engine with the log book from the vehicle it came out of, then put the reg on the 90. If that's what he did, then it's illegal. Saving £200 a year road tax by risking your vehicle being siezed/you being prosecuted, seems incredibly stupid to me. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 ^^^ Thats a odd one takes what was a P PLate and makes it a B plate Er why on earth would you do that at all ? And '1 guess' as to if it has a chassis number on the leg of the front chassis that it doesn't "Quite" match the V5 A giant pile of trouble for some poor unsuspecting buyer nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Tonkin Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 There seems to be a lot of confusion over SVA. An SVA test is not an engineering inspection of the chassis. I've built a number of kit cars, the SVA inspectors are looking to make sure that your vehicle is safe, and will for this reason check the quality of construction but most failures are on technicalities of the regulation. Spacing of lights, unprotected radius, exposed nuts/bolts and non working lights/wipers etc. To SVA a land rover should be easy as everything important goes in one place, you would have to go out of your way to get it wrong. These cars on Ebay should maybe go through the test and they would most likely pass but unlikely keep their registration. Most would get a Q plate once it was proven that all of the parts where legit, even if from various other cars. People have been doing this kind of thing for years and I often think that the people selling them don't know what has been done themselves. It may be that the technical legality of these cars should be questioned but most people buying will understand that. The safety of the vehicles is a different matter and without seeing it we can't really comment. There are plenty of factory standard cars out there that shouldn't be on the road.

Phil Hancock Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 i also forgot to add this one toonot that i'm looking for another motor but just like too browse dave Recieved today from the seller after queerying the ID being from the engine not the chassis: it is legal i checked with the police before i bought it .If it wasn't i would not be abe to insure it or tax it.The chassis number is the same as on the documents and the documents say it is a 1985 2.25 petrol in green.

Ivan Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 So he is saying that because he changed the engine the vehicles identity has been changed as well ? Seems very strange to me (actually it's absolute rubbish he is talking). I changed the engine in my 1988 90 from a 2.5 TD to a 300Tdi. The vehicle did not change it's identity they just put the new engine number on the documents. Maybe I should have put a 1970's V8 in it and had it tax free Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I thought the reply was total BS as soon as i read it! Hence posting it to show what a dodgy seller he must be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should have put a 1970's V8 in it and had it tax free Ivan i bought a new diesel motor for my 2.3 petrol 90 of e bay. i then tried to get my v5 amended and tell the dvla about my new engine so as to be all above board. turned out the new engine was without an engine number , it had been polished off. ''thats ok'' said the woman in the dvla , just put N/A on the form and we will issue you with a new engine number, which they did. the engine was a re-con but could quite easily have been stolen and undressed of its identity. why dont they have mandatory x-rays to find out the old numbers in cases like this cos thats one hell of a stupid loop hole enabling people to register stolen engines with new numbers?
