Tax Exempt?
Lee_D:
One to ponder.
Series with Coils added. Axles swapped but everything else the same.
The Chassis is the same, only the spring mounts added for the new springs which surely count as part of the change of suspension points wise.
Discuss. :)
electricbluebadger:
Original and unmodified..... key wording
So chassis - no points as modified to suit coils
Axles - no points
Brakes - discs?? no points
Suspension - no points
Tax exempt... not a hope
Cheers Steve

This is a mine field . " Original and unmodified " . so what happens when you modify engine mountains Etc (part of the chassis no ? ) . What about parabolics or disk brakes . I know all these thing seperatly are not enough but what if I have a SII v8 on paras and disks .
What about replacment parts , say over twenty years I have replaced with new ( not salvaged from another registerd vehicle ) the chassis ,axles , suspension even engine ?

Like for like components are not considered as 'changes'.

You need 8 points.
2 for each of suspension, steering,axles, transmission. 1 for engine, 5 for chassis. All original, unmodified, or as per original manufacturers specification. ie you can replace the chassis with a galvanised one. You can replace the steering, or the axles, so long as "original spec"etc. Brakes and body don't count. BUT, a completely different body, even with 8 points on the vehicle, needs an SVA. Not good. Been there. Most Landrovers will not pass this without many tears, fettling, cost, hassle,retests,protractors,measuring,etc etc. Not a minefield when the police and DVLA are involved. Crystal clear in fact. Read the DVLA website. Sorry.
