road tax

[ashwhite]

my car us registered as a 2.6, does anyone know if I can re register it as a 1.3.

[grinder]

is it an import ??

i managed to re-reg my FC as a 1.3 - just sent them a letter with loads of print outs saying that the JDM FC was a 1.3 - easy eh

[ashwhite]

Yeh it is an import, so it is possible then

best thing to do is get the paperwork to them on a friday when they don\'t realy care about the work and looking at the weekend.... they are more likely to OK it & send it back! I know on the FD\'s it\'s very hitor miss with them even if you send in proof!! I was going to send them a pic of the plate from under the bonet that shows 654cc (or what ever it is...... mind blank!) but aparantly someone did this and it still came back as a 2.6

In a word you have absolutely no chance.

DVLA have become very much aware of the rotary loop hole and are slowly closing down on it.

I\'ve had arguments with them over the years and you get absolutely no where.  They have told me everytime a car changes hands or licence plate that is reg\'d as a 1.3 the new owner will receive a 2.6 log book back.

Was nice while it lasted.  Anyone who disagrees with my statement go and take it up with your local DVLA office and see how far you get.

Dont think it matters if the car changes hands or not,Thay will still get you,its an unfair tax simple as that,

I have just bought a private plate, does it mean that I will now receive the log book with 2.6  I have it with 1.3 right now

Quite possibly.  Happened to me.  Hence my arguement with DVLA.

[FD3S Efini]

Dirty money grabbing .......s surely that cant be legal as it is a 1.3 not a 2.6 might have to look deep into this one and see if they are allowed to do this

[michaelb]

well, I will know in the next 2 to 5 days when my log book gets back with the new reg

If it comes back with 2.6 I will take it up with DVLA, no way I am going to let it go - looks highly ilegal - Dirty money grabbing .......s AS FD3S said
