My current 13/60 engine is the one that is identified on my V5. I have a "brand new" 13/60 engine that has the same number prefix.
I was wondering whether installing the new engine and informing Swansea might count against me at inspection time, i.e. I'm sure that there will be some note on the V5 that says the engine has been changed. I was, therefore, thinking about having the inspection with the original engine in place, and then installing the new engine and notifying afterwards.
I tried to ring Peterborough DVLA but without a direct dial number you get put through to Swansea. The person that I spoke to said that as it is a "like for like" swap (which it is), all I have to do is complete the box on the V5 and send it in and it will not be a problem during the inspection.
Does anybody have any horror stories that should make me doubt her? Or, gentle reassurance that means that I can just get on with it. I would prefer the latter.
Micha, I'd love to know what Nordrhein-Westfalen Vehicle Licensing Office would have to say. Actually, I know what they would, say. "Nein!"
