Jimmy Two-Jacks Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Does anyone know if you change a chassis and the replacement chassis has no documentation does this make the vehicle that has had the replcement chassis fitted a "Q" PLATE?

Ibex94 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi James, No it doesn't if you're reusing the parts from your original vehicle. Check out this link to DVLA it should tell you what you need to know. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Buyin...cle/DG_10014246 If still unsure give them a ring I found them very helpfull.

Jimmy Two-Jacks Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Many Thanks I have decided to try to get a chassis with log book and all the paperwork needed rather than risk the dreaded "Q" PLATE and all that entails. But thanks for the link that told me all I need to know as the chassis would have made my 90 a “Q” and I could do without the further problems that would bring I used to say anything for an easy life and then I got the Landrover bug Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibex94 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Don't understand why the chasis would make your existing vehicle registration invalid. If you are rechassising an existing vehicle even if its had other changes ie replacement engine shouldn't invalidate your existing vehicle registration as it now forms a part of the registered vehicle.

dave88sw Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 if you are using a second hand chassis then the vehicle is constructed from 2 different land rovers and is subject to an sva i think. If you use a new replacement that is identical to the old one then its not even worth notifying the dvla in my opinion but if you want to avoid any problems it could be a sensible thing to do.

mike4444244 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 using a BRAND NEW chassis from a shop/retailer WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE = fine no probs with DVLA using ANY second hand chassis THAT ALREADY HAS A NUMBER = SVA no exceptions Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 As above. Using a second hand chassis for a replacement means an SVA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
