HELP !!!!!

[briggie]

finally sorted

ok i got it sorted , had to go back to the garage for him to look at the plates on the car ..... the v5 was incorrect , the number that had on was the engine number and not the vin number :doh , seems the importer put the wrong number on the docs :doh..... anyway because the m.o.t pertains to the vin number and not the engine number , my m.o.t is current and valid :thumb2......dvla where actually quite nice and understanding , all i have to do is send the correct details back to them and they will send me a new v5 :thumb2

good innit ?

 

[briggie]

so there is a warning for mistral owners , if your v5 says r20 as the first part of your vin/chassis number .... its incorrect and if your mot says the same ..... its not valid

Casting my mind back to my Nissan days the one on the MOT cert is the "Model Code". Pete you need to check the chassis number plate under the bonnet, probably fastened to the bulkhead on the n/s. If you are un sure give me or Clive a shout mate.

Jim

PS if DVLA say don't drive it, then don't because the first traffic car you come across will pull you.

thanks jim , thats exactly what the guys at the garage did , there are two numbers on the plate under the bonnet , one is the model code which begins r20 , the 2nd one is the vin/chassis number which begins v .... s ... or k

both of mine (one Mk1 one Mk2) start VSKTBUR20U0, you will note the R20, I did look it up once to find out the meanings, it all worked out but I forget now without looking it up again, Rick
