road tax

A 12a, using those calculations, would be 2292...

I don\'t know what a V5C would actually say for a 12a engined car though

What about a doubled 12a? What is a 12a\'s official capacity?

Mine was really cheap tax, till they changed the bands

Quote from: Speedline Imports;820647I have been very lucky with Brighton DVLA, registered 3 cars recently as 1308, but the 3rd one got picked up by a different person processing the documents and had to be registered as 2616. Although with planned changes and possible closure of all local DVLA offices, it will mean all paperwork goes directly to Swansea and I cant see any getting registered as 1308

all offices closing???:Hammer:eek:eek, my nearest is Bristol and been several times sorting stuff out, very nervous about posting them docs takes an age and when you have to ring to chase complete nightmare with awful automated phone system that won\'t let you speak to an operated and cuts you off.

*prints out post*

So when i go down to the dvla, say i want to change the engine size, if they ask for proof, i\'ll say ive got your proof right here and present them that whilst giving them "the nod"

I got a email sent from my local mazda dealer including my chassis number etc.

Kamatari · May 25, 2012, 08:55:56 AM

Well i went down and spoke to them, they looked it all over and said it was fine...BUT...they still have to send it off for it to get changed as they can\'t do it there

Heres hoping that having a dvla office stamp etc holds more weight

Don\'t fancy your chances up there without a letter and a bloody good reason.

Hi,

I now own the rx7 that rising son originally posted this thread for.

Once a received the documents in my name I went to the dvla office in Glasgow with as much supporting evidence as i could gather. We even had a V5 from another import fc we have registered as a 1300, handbook extracts and mazda parts letters quoting the engine size.

They seemed quite helpful but said that they just need to take photo copy and speak to someone in their main office.

Two days later i get a phone call from a dvla man who has been well versed on rotorys and said that they can not change the cc details of an rx7 import after it has been initially registered in the country, so im stuck with paying tax for 2.6 !!

this guy had been well prep\'d and knew exactly what say for every argument,

I hope you guys have more luck at your local offices!!

I\'m having the same fun in Cyprus, but the law here states that the car should be taxed as a 1308cc. They\'re just being arse\'s because i\'m English i think.
