V5 or chassis plate?

[smiles]

Evening all,I'm looking at purchasing a "damaged" 1995 Defender 110 - not an insurance write off,but an economical one - rolled as a fire tender!

 

The vehicle was apparently upgraded from 3050kg to a 3500kg when converted to a tender - but the chassis plate still says 3050,and the revenue weight on the V5 says 3480kg!

 

I reckon that the chassis plate will take prededence over the V5,but would be more than happy if someone could tell me I'm wrong!

 

Don't know whether I can be bothered with the replating malarky if the news is not good

 

Cheers

Hi there I'm afraid I can't tell you but I had a 127 Land Rover the chassis plate number described as 110 but the V5 said it was a 127

Not surprising that. They all start life as a 110 then go the special vehicles to become something else.

Just change the chassis plate to reflect the revised weight.

Excellent ! sounds like the plate doesn't often get changed then!

I just stamped one up for my old series one many years ago - but would that be acceptable nowadays - or does the vehicle need to be inspected by the DOT or whatever they are called now?

No inspection needed, the change has been made but the job is only half done.
