Interesting - when did you submit the change? I submitted my change
at the beginning of December, enclosing the V5 from the Quantum and
the Mondeo Si donor, and got two letters back from different people
(one for the H4, one for the Mondy) saying that I needed evidence.
The list of acceptable evidence was:
* receipt of purchase from garage confirming the engine number, engine
size and fuel type
* if an existing engine has been converted, written evidence from the
garage that carried out the work
* an inspection report from the AA or the RAC, or one provided for
insurance purposes
* written confirmation from the manufacturer containing the engine
number and size
I didn't have any of this, and certainly don't want to pay to have the
non-running Mondy inspected just so that it can go off to the scrappy
(sorry, "Authorised Treatment Facility" as they're now called!). I
phoned DVLA and they said that they want some form of third party
evidence that the engine swap has happened in the Quantum (thankfully
they weren't so interested in the car to be scrapped) as it may have
an impact on the taxation class (although 1.6 - 2.0 doesn't
yet.....). The H4 was MoTed at the beginning of January and my local
garage obliged with a letter. So that's been sent off with the V5 and
I'm just waiting to see if that's ok as I'm reluctant to get rid of
the Mondeo until I know that I don't need any further evidence from
its V5...
