Today I`ve received from DVLA my V5C and Iwas very urprised to find out that: instead of 177bhp only have 163= 120 kW ; and another disapointement was on emissions: instead of 147g/km CO2, car band tax C, I have 185 g/km CO2 car band tax E.

    I have a Mk4 1997 Ford Fiesta 1.3 (HCS EFI 60PS) that I am trying to find emissions info on so I can register it in Germany. I have tried Ford UK who have been unhelpful in the extreme. Usually it's on the DVLA's V5C registration form, but it isn't. Or you can get it off a Certificate

    transactions done over the phone due to Covid restrictions.   Fully service history provided too.  Yesterday, 4 June, after chasing the dealership many times, we finally received the V5C document .  This shows that the car actually has 3 previous owners (we are fourth) They lied.  Been

    number on it. Before I even attempt it, is there any point going down to the post office to renew the tax? The tax disc reminder, MoT and V5C all have the new registration number but, as mentioned above, the insurance certificate still refers to the old number. I still have all the paperwork (including
  • AllBrandsNew - buying experience report 4 Sep 2007 (Forum)
    a pity (and affected the resale value slightly) to miss the 'new' plate by 3 weeks. The V5C registration document for it arrived last Friday morning. We got to Hull Saturday morning and the car was all prepped. My wife and I were given the opportunity to inspect it, inside and out, prior to paying

  • DISMANTLING A CAR - RULES & REGULATIONS 11 Apr 2012 (Forum)
    ???  If the issue is all about possible pollution of the environment, cant a person collect and appropriately store the waste auto fluids ( depollution ) and hand them over to a 'Registered' ATF, along with V5C, when they come over to collect the vehicle shell, so that they can dispose respective wastes
  • Ford Ka - Used car Interest again previous plate/ no v5 29 Nov 2013 (Forum)
    having a personalised plate   However, they are unable to supply me with the V5C details as the car was previously written off, and therefore the v5 has to be reapplied for by the new keeper, and they "don't want to make it look like it's had an additional owner
  • Where are all the deals going? 1 Feb 2023 (Forum)
    registered to some African guy who was not even present, a V5C missing part and the lies piled up very quickly. I am open to many makes and models, leaning toward japanese due to reliability and trying to stay under ££220/yr of tax. I welcome any comments and suggestions
  • Focus Elle - Insurance fiasco - just having a rant 31 Jul 2011 (Forum)
    really got my goat bigtime is the blatant lies I am given from various members of staff from the insurance company and I got a different story from a different person EVERY DAY.  They have asked me to send original MOT, insurance certificate! and V5C -  I am probably a numpty but why can't

  • Registration dates and values 28 Jan 2008 (Forum)
    drive the old car a dozen miles on the 1st, the act of signing the V5c, the no tax and or SORN would probably make me an easy nick for Swansea. So all in all it is cheaper. Con's, well I'd never played the 'new' new registration game, and truthfully, not really my style. But less than a week? Given

    deceased father. I decided to buy and transferred the money to them. She then went off to her computer to check it had gone through. When she returned she had the V5C in her hand. She then told me that she'd forgotten to send it off, but had filled in the new keeper portion with her details
  • Please confirm my advice is sensible 5 Dec 2018 (Forum)
    . When he got out the V5C it shows the keeper as the seller i.e. the wife and it shows the previous keeper as a person 150 miles away in Scotland (its a two owner car). There is no mention of the sellers husband being a previous keeper as the husband claimed. So my thoughts based on the above
