Flappa Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 Oh, and I think the inspection place in Birmingham is actually at a site just down the road from the SVA centre about 1/2 mile away, not at the same place. DVLA Vehicle Inspections at VOSA, Unit 10, Elmdon Trading Estate, Birmingham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KerryS Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Flappa Request all your application back if you can ever get to speak to them on the phone (Nottm told me they have no public incoming phone lines) drive up to Nottm and get it sorted - might still be quicker Kerry S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappa Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 On a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon apparently. Aaah, the picture becomes clearer. They sent me a letter with an appointment for next Thursday at 1:30pm. I bet you the inspector probably lives in the next street to me as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappa Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 drive up to Nottm and get it sorted - might still be quicker Kerry, The problem is that it is NOT legal to drive it, and it's not a risk I'm willing to take. I've sent them a letter today stating my frustrations and asking for them to inspect it at my house or get PC plod to call round and do it. I can't tell you how bl**dy frustrated I am over this. Talk about incompetence, what a waste of space bunch of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoPops Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Tell me about it! Jeff had to trailer the car from Bristol to Birmingham just for the test 10mins and that was it. Still trying to find out if I can get the reg details today for the weekend, otherwise I have to wait another week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerryS Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Flappa I meant go without the car! I know it'd be illegal to take it there. If it's the Madness kit like mine with CON from WF and with original recepit, they shouldn't need to see it, they didn't want to see mine. Hope progress improves.

SVA office is Avonmouth, DVLA is in Stoke Gifford, Bristol - why go to Birmingham ? Or am I missing something obvious ...... The car was built in Bristol and SVAed there, as I had sold it to Cocopops he was to be the first registered owner. Now the DVLA have changed the registration process and now you have to take two forms of ID to register the car as well as all the paperwork. So Lee went to the Birmingham DVLA, near where he works, who then asked to see the car. So trailer up and then had to show they guy who admmitted knowing nothing about cars where all the numbers were. 10 mins on my way home. It is job creation where numbers already checked and put onto the MAC certificate by one goverment official needs to be checked by another. Anyway it is all done now.
