For anyone still registered as 2616cc

[scooby_si]

although looking at it it still gives no justification as to why they multiply the swept volume by 2 just that it does it as defined in automotive Exhaust Emissions Directive so i\'d really like to know what this says in the hope i can pea on their money grabbing bonfire http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_2_11.gif\' border=0>
Fingers crossed i\'ll find sumin but info wood be good....
Cheers

another thing, does cc refer to cylinder capacity they refer to i always thought it ment cubic capacity but that could be my error? http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/29/29_1_5.gif\' border=0>

I\'m gonna look into it.  I imagine that the automotive Exhaust Emissions Directive was dreamed up a few years back now, to accommidate the influx of imported \'rotarys\'.  We all know that FDs run rich, and so dont have the lowest of emisions, so it\'s my opinion that the body responsible for setting the road fund licence based on emissions (for new cars) invented the automotive Exhaust Emissions Directive as a way of getting some back payment from cheeky gits like us with our 1.3s!  

I guess what I\'m trying to say, is it\'s all about screwing us for all the money they can!!! :reallymad

CC does stand for cubic capacity.

[WeasleRx7]

But then it can also mean \'Carrying capacity\' (CC) as a term often talked about in relation to livestock in the communal areas. :p

[MikeLMR]

cc = cubic centimetre :rollin

and its not just imports all rotaries have been double the capicity since the RO80

[WeasleRx7]

what about in the USA?  Dont they use the term CC too?  But measure their engines in Cubic Inches???:confused:

[scooby_si]

lol yeah i just found that it does mention cylinder capacity on the govt sites so remind me what is the theoretical arguement where by the capacity of the rotor is twice, or should it be 3 times, that of what it\'s actually listed as & how that compares to a piston or what have you. Just trying to remember all the BS so i can throw it back at em on the phone tomorrow when they tell me what this fabulous directive says, looks like it came about in 1996 from a quick gander but not sure.................

CI = Cubic inches
CC = Cubic Centimetres

its one of the few metric things they the yanks have picked up on.

[scooby_si]

how about this, are cars classed as PLG\'s? presume so & given that is a DVAL document it can only be the interpretation of my evidense they are trying to question but surely as it\'s acceptable evidence, ie a garage headed letter, that they have to accept at face valuye that it is as stated 1308cc for my car?
Damn it where\'s me brief?

[scooby_si]

oops forgot pikky, from a application for V70 (what is that?)

[WeasleRx7]

Maybe it\'ll only now work if it\'s the first time the car\'s been registered in the UK?  Afterall what your trying to tell the DVLA, if you\'re car\'s already reg\'d, is the that the same engine (as per same engine number) has all of a sudden shrunk to half it\'s size?!!  If they have no record of a capicity and number, might the headed garage letter work then? :confused:

[scooby_si]

aha but they have it registered wrong the first time & it says on the letter from garage that the actual capacity of the engine is 1308cc & that is all, from the above document i need to have to reduce it. I\'m an awkward feker & i wont be put off http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_1_108.gif\' border=0> lol

How long have you had a V5 stating the capacity as 2616?  Cause if its more than a few weeks I bet they would argue that if you noticed it was incorrect why didn\'t you get it sorted?  Also if you\'d had it taxed as a 2616 the you cant argue that you\'d not noticed their mistake?

By the way I\'m on your side as I want the cheaper tax too!

Whats a 10a poster, and how do I change it???
