SeanDisco Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Unless it's been chopped about so much there's almost no original car left, I'd keep it as it is. Search for "SVA" for oh so many bunfights on the whole can of worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auf_wiedersehen_pet Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I think they can be harder to insure too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max-ie Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 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. Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanDisco Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Cheers for the replies. I'll stick with it as it is, dislike vosa enough without giving them the satisfaction of snooping around my disco Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
