DVLA registration inspection
I had my registration inspection today, turned up with the car on a trailer and the DVLA man checked the chassis number and engine number, had a chat and that was it. All in all it took about 8 minutes. Just waiting for my tax disc and registration doc in the post.

Trailer Hire
Just a quick note: If you're going to a SVA test, its best to hire a trailer to get there - as insurance companies will only insure you for a maximum of 30 days on the chassis number which isn't usually enough time to pass SVA and await registration.
I used a tilting trailer from http://southampton-trailer-hire.com/ which was ideal as i had very low ground clearance.

Registration
After my SVA test I went to the portsmouth dvla office and picked up forms for registration (V55/5) filled them in along with a build up inspection report form (V627/1) atached copies of reciepts for kit and engine etc and gave them back the day after with an insurance certificate (on the chassis number due to no numberplates) from Adrian Flux insurance, and a cheque for the tax disc and registration fee.
This is my completed V55/5 form
They then want to inspect the vehicle on wednesday at VOSA in Botley to check the chassis number and engine number. Why they can't do this at the SVA test is beyond me, as it had to be done for the paperwork at SVA anyway !!!

SVA retest tomorrow
An update before my SVA Retest..... I've corrected the failure points -
cat converter welded in
rear fog light tell tale lamp fitted
indicator stalks lengthened
fuel filler restrictor
self centering sorted - it turned out my steering wheel boss was rubbing on the steering lock stoping free movement of the column, so i filed the steering lock down a bit then rechecked my camber and wheel alignment, a bit better.. But then after speaking to the workshop guys at tiger racing i let the tires down to 10 psi and perfect or as near as perfect selfcentering. Wish me luck....
