No Signals Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Personally I don't see a problem with it but I realise 'where they are coming from' regarding bike thefts and everything that goes with it. The DVLA website states a receipt for the replacement engine written evidence from the manufacturer an inspection report provided for insurance purposes written confirmation on headed paper from a garage (if the change took place before you bought the vehicle)' So in effect you need the old receipt from ten years ago from when you bought the bike. I am guessing you might not have it? Perhaps you might be able to 'find' an old one? Even the handwritten one from the mate you bought it from might be enough, especially if it gives the frame number and engine number?

Steve smith Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 Hi I sent the receipt with the V5 and DVLA never sent it back with the V5 I have tried many times to contact them but cannot get through what gave them the right to throw my receipt away for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Drop them an email, that usually seems to work although it may take a while for them to respond. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
