how have you lot got on when changing your log book from 2.25ltr to a v8.
DVLA have had my log book for 3 weeks, so i rang them and they told me they were investgating my vehicles history due to wanting to change the 'description' from '88"4cyl' to '88"8cyl'.
i was told by a MOT guy it shoulndt be a problem but i will have to have the conversion inspected by vosa and the brake effiency checking against new vehicle weight.

loads of people put V8's in how have you got on.

Paul Woodward:
I notified them of mine quite recently.
All I did was fill in the new engine number and capacity in the changes section and send it off. Got it back in around 10 days.
I don't think it mentioned the number of cylinders on my V5.

mark.yellow.series.3:
same here got it back in 4 days but still said 4cyl, and appartley under the new mot scheme it will automatically log a fault with vosa if your descripton is correct.

so will have to wait and see :roll:

Paul Woodward:
Yes that's right. I hadn't notified them of the change. When I took it for it's MOT the tester changed the details on his screen so I thought i'd better notify them ASAP before I had a letter from them!!

mark.yellow.series.3:
have you had a reply yet, ive heard that my vehicle will have to be inspected for a good coversion, and brakes tested against new vehicle weight.
