DVLA Type approval for KMH???

[Rotaryguru]

I really can\'t believe it... my registration was denied by the DVLA, on my 1992 - because the speedo is in KMH!!!
 
We all know that this is untrue. The are saying it has to do with Type Approval..... but its over 10 years old.
 
What can I do? I am sick of all this red tape!!!:2Mad :Grrr :reallymad

Just inform them you have got a kmh to mph clock conversion, only about £35 quid from ebay

Hmmmm maybe, they said they wanted a receipt from a garage that a MPH speedo had been fitted, or inspect the car if I put one in myself.
 
What a joke.   :2Mad

[Rotaryguru]

If anyones got any ideas, no matter how crazy, i\'d appreciate it.
 
Has anyone else had this problem before? :mad:
 
The funny thing is..... I reakon I could just resubmit the documents.... and it would probably slip through.....:2Confused

do just that mate, and wipe the paper on sh!t before you post it

Just take it to another DVLA office, the DVLA is very inconsistent and your reason for refusal is complete rubbish.

Considering you dont need the car to be in mph for the MOT test then that is complete an utter ********.

Take your papers to the Preston DVLA office.  They arent arsed in the slightest as long as your money is good.

put stickers on the speedo to indicate mph

[Matt_K]

yeah that\'s total bulls**t. My car\'s still in KMH and I registered it fine.

I have a Knightsports Speedo.... if I put the stickers on, then i would have a 300MPH car!!:eek:

I can\'t go into an office, I\'m an IT contractor - if I\'m not at work, I don\'t get paid. They\'re open 9-5 M-F, I work 8-8, M-F.  
 
I said about the Speedo passing the MOT, you know the answer I got???
 
\'Computer says no......\'  :2Rolleyes
 
:flamed

Yeah, I posted the last lot, and am still waiting for the docs to be returned....
 
I\'m trying to get it on the road before April 12th (the car arrived 27th Dec - i\'ve been dealing with red tape since then!!!), I want to go out to the Old School Mazda meet in Dummer.
 
:guinness

Latest rule to be implemented, if you go elsewhere you\'ll get the same response. Easiest thing is to pay a few quid and get a speedo chip fitted and then send the invoice for the chip being fitted with the rest of your docs and that will be enough.
