IVA test

[kirkyboy5]

Im not a newbie as such but I feel like it sits best in this arena as its a bit of a newbie question.

 

For example, If I was to change a Pinto engine to a different engine i.e a duratec would the vehicle need to be checked at all before being put on the road. Im aware I need to contact DVLA as the log book would change etc but would it need to be IVA tested?

i don't think you will have to IVA again if you change an engine, as long as the car has been registered.

 

you don't for any other mods, probably a bit of a grey area !

yeh thats what i thought. not much guidence on it anywhere!

The short answer is no. Once its passed the IVA its passed. I checked online and on other forums etc. as I'm swapping from xflow to zetec. Interestingly enough the emissions stop the same as the IVA test so my zetec will be tested on visual test only (nice  ) You have to tell the dvla the change of capacity for the V5 I have heard that they sometimes require some kind of proof (presumably the MOT test can do this).

hahaha James that was a deliberate piece of wording... i knew if I put duratec in there you would think its a duratec.... the beast in querstion will be much more powerful
