Bungle

Right i've got a mate who has a 3 door escort that he's turbo'd and he says he's putting the car on an rs turbo i'd and that ford are doing it by stamping the chassis number off the rs turbo into the passenger side floor and removing the drivers side numbers,

Now he has said its also going through dvla legitimately (sp) he said he's going to tell them he's got a shell with no ID and they will let it go on the rs ID,

Now i've just said that this is surely ringing and they won't let him do it but he said i'm a dumb ass fool and its not ringing,

Also the car has no sunroof RST'S do surely this is very wrong??

SO AM I A DUMB ASS FOOL AND IS IT RINGING???

ALSO THE OWNER IS A MEMBER ON HERE AND HAS JUST GIVEN ME A LOAD OF ABUSE FOR TELLING HIM ITS WELL DODGY LMAO,

Lets see if he makes an appearance shall we.............

good luck....
Cannot really see that Ford are going to re-stamp a shell in the wrong place with a new set of numbers.

how can he tell DVLA he has a shell with no ID as it's plain to see in the CORRECT PLACE already. I'm sure DVLA will know where to look for the original numbers.

You're right mate. Totally illegal and should actually go on a Q plate going from the DVLA rules. Sure he'll love that.

Bungle

I didn't think i was wrong but as he was giving me some proper shit for trying to advise him i thought i'd ask you lot assomeone was bound to know

AndyRST

I think you should name him so he explain to us how its legal and how he's doing this via ford and the DVLA

matts1

Ringer ringer ringer

Q plate would be the most likely

Bungle

Lol if only he would see it that way

TIFF

Will be put on a Q plate....

But it will still be a ringer in mosts eyes

TIFF

This is why i hate this place... im not condoning the illegal use of ID, but from where im sitting you lot are just Shit stirring!

rs shawn

To be fair to Tiff, Grant Gti was the one who said it was a PF member. You really expect nobody to reply asking who it is ??

xr2i-carl

im pissed (its my b/day), not read the post properly and in my opio n its ringing

phil_focus

isnt the best thing to do just to tell the dvla the mods that the car has???

surely thats the right thing to do isnt it?

Actually, if you mod your car obviously you have to tell your insurance company but do you need to tell the dvla? is there a special procedure???

TIFF

You must REALLY hate this place with over 2000 posts

B19LRW

coming from someone with 30000+ posts!! lololololololo

TIFF

But i dont hate the place

Bungle

I'm just about to make him aware i've put this thread up so if he wishes to explain how he thinks its legal he can if not i guess he won't but hopefully this thread will make him see sense

I wish i'd saved the msn conversation but the mrs just cancelled it off

Place your bets on whether he will reply NOW

Refer him to the Government's own web pages on the subject:
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring...le/DG_10014246

Specifically, the bit that says "If a second-hand chassis or monocoque bodyshell is used, the vehicle must pass a an enhanced single vehicle approval (ESVA) or single vehicle approval (SVA) test after which a "Q" prefix registration number will be allocated."

And the wee flap in the carpet being in the wrong place is always going to be a giveaway to any prospective buyer.

AndyRST

How would you feel if you bought a car then found out it had a chassis number from a different car and was infact a ringer? Hows that shit stiring?

dvla stamp strut when Qing a car as tubby plumber said

Bungle

Thank you ginge and everyone else just proves he's either full of shit or gonna ring it, He's fell out with me now and blocked me on msn all because i was trying to help him

I don't know why i bother sometimes fook it

AndyRST

And Gra, seem to remember he bought a Saff Cos that turned out to be a 1.8lx reshell/id fraud Think he ended up scrapped it for parts and moved on, not nice

Ginge !

mate i got a smack o the nose from a bird who was arguing with hes missus on friday

sometimes its best to stay the fuck out of stuff

Bungle

True but if i knew he'd rung the car and sold it on and i hadn't said anything i'd have felt bad for the new owner tbh,

Hopefully this thread has made him think twice but then again ya cant tell some people

Ginge !

mate you wouldnt have felt fuck all tbh,,, as you would never fo seen the car again

the DVLA and the police would do this, the chassis numbers usually start with SABTVR***

these are all the dodgy cars so if youre chassis number is like that, your car is probably a kit car, ringer, stolen recovered, has been under police investigation, was built from parts, or something else dodgy like mentioned etc etc

orion turbo

ford dont and carnt restamp a vin on any shell once a shell has an id it keeps it for life any tampering of any sort is ringing

Iain Mac

When people talk about "FORD", it's important to remember that nearly every "FORD" dealership is an independently owned and operated business who just happen to sell and maintain the products of the FORD MOTOR COMPANY.

Back when I worked for FoMoCo there was only one manufacturer owned dealership in the UK and I think it was sold on a while ago.

lardypants

lol tell him ok if its genuine let the police inspect it after. bet he shrivels up

Bungle

I probably would ginge as he's a member on here so it would more than likely be some poor cunt off here that buys it

AndyRST

yeah thats a very good point

Bungle

I never thought of that but to be honest i didnt believe what he was saying anyway think he said ford were doing it to make his ringing sound legal
