Hi Mike,

Sorry to hear that. I had a strikingly similar situation with the tax issue with mine, strangely enough. As it's all by post now & not a face-to-face at a local DVLA centre, it takes a return post to inform the sender that they're a tenner short due to the whispered VEL duty ride.

Progress, I guess..?

DVLA posted it back to me as the new registered keeper though, and not the supplying dealer, which made a hefty thud on the doormat as there were so many important papers in there. To speed things up, we just wrote a cheque for the ten pounds difference and sent it back by recorded delivery 'just in case'!!

There is now a statutory allowance on time in order not to fall foul of The System, so I'm still picking mine up on Tuesday. Mind you, wild horses would have a hard time by now..

Chin up, chum. It'll happen before you know it. thumbs

Steve
