samurai Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 How do i change on my log book the engine size? I want to go from 1.6 to 2 litre I need to send my log book back now to change the address at the same time. Thanks
Posse Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Yes m8 just send it back off to the DVLA with the new details ie the engine size It only takes about 10 days .
samurai Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Posted January 2, 2009 Do i need to tell them its gone from a x-flow to a pinto aswell? also a bored out 2litre? Thanks
Posse Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 It should say on your log book what it is already ? Just put down 2.0l capacity thats what i did.
samurai Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Posted January 2, 2009 On my log book it says 1600cc so i need to change it 2060cc Do i need to change engine number to?
tim Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 i would change the number,if the police or insurance get funny over any thing they might pick up on it,also i know of a mk1 that got stolen in the summer,the engine was sold on,the dvla picked up on the number being used in a kit car and the guy got his engine back
over_head_cam Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 You don't have to, as sometimes with older vehicles and modified engines it can be lost. But for safetys sake I would. At least if the very worst were to happen and the car went walkies, there would be a chance of tracing the number
samurai Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Posted January 2, 2009 stupid forms! I think i sent it last time (years ago) with new engine size and it still came back the same! Maybe i need to go to one of there stupid offices! another waste of a day off work! Monday morning ill give them a call and go to the office and maybe i can get it sorted fast. Thanks
Posse Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Good point if you have the number put it on there
Anglia68 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 According to the DVLA website you now have to give them written evidence of an engine change. "Change to engine and cylinder capacity (engine size) DVLA will need written evidence of any changes to engine number and cylinder capacity (cc). Written evidence can be: * a receipt for the replacement engine * written evidence from the manufacturer * an inspection report provided for insurance purposes * written confirmation on headed paper from a garage if the change in engine size took place before you bought the vehicle" http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Ow ...

samurai Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Posted January 2, 2009 Its going to be fun finding he number! If i remember right there were like 4 numbers around the block somewhere! The one im after is on the exhast side? I changed and put the engine in..
bomber1 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 thats going to be fun as whos going to provide the paper work if you have no recit for any of it
samurai Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Posted January 3, 2009 I made my own headed engineers report
FredTransit Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 The other easier option is to write to them and say you bought it like that, and have no paperwork. Enclose some pics of the engine and the engineers report, that should do it. How many years have you had it?
bomber1 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 ive had the car 4 years but never kept it on the road for longer than 8 months. who does an engineers report? shouldnt need one as that car came with pintos anyway?
FredTransit Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 I made my own headed engineers report That's the engineer's report I was thinking of. It was to prove the car currently has a 2L pinto.....
samurai Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Posted January 5, 2009 I made my own headed engineers report That's the engineer's report I was thinking of. It was to prove the car currently has a 2L pinto..... For having stupid rules we play the game Anyways...i am a motorsport engineer\engineer.... I sent off all the paper work today to the dvla
samurai Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Posted January 25, 2009 Still not got my log book back! It would be 3 weeks on Monday since i sent it! I got my driving licence back within 5 days...
livewire7116 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 DVLA have a silly rule they will only change one detail at a time sometimes, when i changed engine and had paint job i had to send it back twice
Deano1351 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 My cortina said 3.0 litre on the log book when i got it and i had to have it changed to say 2 litre pinto but they wanted an engineers report, i took it to the mot garage down the road, he stuck his head under the bonnet and said it looks ok and wrote me a confirmation on his headed paper, easy
samurai Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Posted January 25, 2009 I did my own hearder But you think they are looking up for a listed company with same name?
samurai Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Posted February 5, 2009 Today i got my log book back after 3 weeks And they added the different engine size and number
