I replaced the engine in my MX-5 and got the snotty letter back from the DVLA demanding an engineer's report. I didn't use an engineer to do it and it has since passed it's mot. It's little surprise people aren't bothering, most conversions are done by enthusiasts who put great care into their cars and are cared for much better than most of the chavvy sheds on the road in my local area.
I have had this too... I removed the LPG from my car, so informed DVLA and 2 months later received the same letter, oh well their loss...Edited by alec.e on Monday 25th June 02:13
5.7 litre under the bonnet, 2.0 litre on the v5c.

Reg check shows it as 1988cc so I guess that's what's on the V5CWhat am I missing?
That info comes from the DVLA

Sterling effort and we all like a Q car but still a 1.8 Zetec on the log book so no (s)IVA and the MOT is a waste of paper.

320 alleged bhp and Toyo T1R's should be entertaining for a hundred feet.

That's pretty cool, but the exhaust looks like I made it and I have no mechanical skills.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163809989135

That would always be my concern with this type of car, you don't really know the quality of the work unless it was done by a reputable garage.

Given that the GTI itself doesn't even cost much to tax in the grand scheme of things i wonder why they've done that? - oh that's why seller said:
V5 IS 999CC FREE TAX

Advertised as a 595 Comp - actually a Fiat 500 Lounge 1.3 diesel with an unspecified conversion history in 2018.
Seller says it's up to the next owner to declare / change, but then suggests you don't as you can get £20 road tax & cheaper insurance by keeping quiet

Vauxhall Adam
1.6T VXR conversion upgraded to 240BHP, still a 1.2 on the V5C.
Loving the way it says "all the lights on the dash go out as they should" - as opposed to "all the checking and safety systems working correctly". But at least the lights go out
Oh and Cat D...

I wonder if this is a stolen 595 that has the ID of the 1.3 diesel put on it, surely it would be cost prohibitive to do all those upgrades.....Advertised as a 595 Comp - actually a Fiat 500 Lounge 1.3 diesel with an unspecified conversion history in 2018.
