DVLA want confirmation of engine size - How ?

Post by Griffin » Wed Jun 01, 2011 3:20 pm

Bit of a weird one this, I've received a letter from the DVLA asking that I confirm the cylinder capacity and registration of my Bongo. It says 'Do not take the information from your registration document' for reasons which I understand but the question is where do I get the information (for sure? ).

It's a 1997 P registration 2.5 litre Diesel - is there a plate somewhere that tells me ?

Anyone else had a similar question ? seems a strange one after a good few years of ownership.

Thanks All.

On the drivers side door pillar is a plate with the specifications which includes Engine type and displacement and the VIN, I would email them back a picture of the vehicle and the spec. plate and if you plug the VIN into the Mazdazip database site (Russian) it will confirm all the other bits as well http://www.ruzip.ru/eumz/eumzcat.aspx use google translate to show the final page, enter the VIN in the second row as "xxxxx nnnnnn" then search, the final page will look like this after you put it into google translate http://translate.google.com/translate?j ... 4%26h%3Drh
