Rover Sports Register Forum

Thanks. I have the car number and the chassis number so will send them those, the only difference between the two is a prefix letter on the chassis number. Apparently to keep the same original registration DVLA have started insisting on photographic evidence to prove the car is still the same as whe...

After sending the V5 to the DVLA they have replied asking for the VIN number and a photograph showing where it is located on the car. There is a plate in the engine bay but that only shows the vehicle number, will it also have a VIN number and if so does anyone know where it will be? I have never be...

Tony After being stuck in the office all day it is very theraputic to get into the garage in the evenings, I am sure I won't need to ask so many questions and things will hopefully become a little more obvious once I get the workshop manual.

I will also bear it in mind if I ever need to construct any kind of a pulley system in the bedroom. There are some things which you know you shouldn't laug...

I have just spent the last hour or so sat in the back of the car (I have taken the ...
