Gordo:
There's no reason anyone would need a copy of your V5C other than to confirm that you are the registered keeper (not owner) of the vehicle.

For paint codes, there's the chassis number and probably even a 'paint code' on the VIN plate that they can use - I would ask them straight out why they need your V5C. And have a look at their forum profile to see what they've been posting about - if they haven't posted anything, it looks even more suspicious.

And it might be worth contacting the real Land Rover customer services department with details of the forum and user name to let them know someone is attempting to impersonate them (or you might find out that it really is them!).

They could be trying to re-register the vehicle with them so they have a 'real' V5C for a cloned car, or to make up a set of registration plates (although you can just nip over the border to Scotland to get them made - or do mail-order as they don't have the same rules).

HTH  :azn:

not sure what you're meaning but up here you still need your V5 and proof of ID to get your plates made up.
