isurance question - chassis change

<< < (2/3) > >>

Yoshi:
Keri, the problem is with a new chassis there is no Vin number stamped into it, hence needing the DVLA to look at it.

Bunnie:
when a customer had a class C defender they repaired and everything the DVLA wanted to give it a new number plate and all sorts so id have said yes you need to tell them.. and yes you need to tell your insurance company. if you do have an acident or any problems insurance compaines wont pay out if there is a difference in the veichle and the policy..

its like putting alloys on and not telling them just cos it will go up and then smashing your car... your not gonna get the money for the alloys.... trust me i know!

plus some insurance compaies wont charge you for changes... its better to be safe than sorry at the end of the day!

Disco-Ron:
Surely common sense says, that if the replacement chassis is identical to the one the vehicle had, and didn't have a previous identity, then no-one needs telling.... after-all, it's the flippin same for goodness sakes....

L90OOK:
I'd tell the insurance company as I'd want the extra value insured...not sure about DVLA if it was a straight swop for a new chassis.

Kinda my point...........

I didn't realise the chassis was actually stamped as iv seen a far few and none of them have had a stamp on just a vin plate in the engine bay.
