Well, it looks like the advice posted on here a few weeks ago was correct. Having filled in the V5C and sent it off to Swansea to inform them of the new fuel type, capacity and engine number, they've sent my V5C back unmodified (still showing the old Q engine number). I even included a photograph of the new engine number stamped into the engine.
So I phoned them to ask why they didn't seem to have done anything, only to be told that there's a separate letter in the post, asking for more information about the engine swap, including a receipt from a garage which carried out the work. Failing that, confirmation on headed paper from a recognised organisation such as the AA or RAC. Obviously, since I did it myself I don't have a receipt, but maybe I could put a headed letter together from my computer company. I don't see why that would be any less valid than a letter from a garage. A less honest person might, at this point, say stuff it. I've filled in the paperwork and told them about it; if they wish to ignore that information then why should I fight the system? And pay extra road tax for the privilege? And risk being stopped and having my tank dipped? Unfortunately that's not me. Let battle commence. Let slip the dogs of bureaucracy. But I'm certainly not going to ask them to correct the manufacturer name! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
