Have you phoned them or do you think it better not too, You copied everything and sent it registered I'm guessing
they can be a bit careless (Remember Sue's)

Not phoned them yet. Have copies of everything. They returned the certificate from SV Tech within a week so I was hoping to get the V5 back shortly after. Will have to call them I think.

Just called the DVLA to chase up the V5 after 8 weeks and it turns out they updated the record but didn't bother sending the certificate. Hopefully it will be here by the end of next week. Another excellent service, not :roll:

At least with DVLA you just know as (Welsh) civil servants what you're getting into
and act/retain copies accordingly :D

"After registration, the DVLA only have access to changing data recorded in section 7.
This is quite correct, and it is only the revenue weight that gets amended."

I phoned Gareth. I am not the first to query this. DVLA CANNOT change anything on the V5 apart from the blue section 7. Only the manufacturer can apply to have anything else changed.
Gareth recommends that if I am stopped by the plod to refer them to the plate that states GVM is 3500 kg. This is apparently acceptable to them. Whether that is the case abroad.........maybe I'll find out in time!

Well my second 'new' V5 has finally arrived and DVLA have now changed both sections to 3500KG 8-) . So it seems Gareth's advice is not correct.
Even if it were, why do SV Tech bother to put a request to amend both sections of the V5 on the certificate then ? :?

HOORAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

We got there in the end!!!

The correct plate arrived today & has been stuck to the vehicle.

I emailed Gareth again showing my dismay & surprise surprise.........No Reply :roll: :roll: :roll:

Then 2 days later I got the correct plate in the post with a compliments slip saying "Sorry for the Cock Up"

I've posted the log book back to the DVLA with the amendments filled in Section 7 & let's see how long they take to return the new updated logbook :?: :?: :?:

SV Tech really don't give a dam about their customers as which has now been proved on here yet again :cry: :cry:

So if any of you folks wish to go down the up-plate road, then I'm afraid that you'll have to persevere with them, keep on their backs & your application will eventually get processed. :cry: :cry:

The Final piece of the Up-plating is now in place!!!
The new log book has arrived today which has taken 1 calendar month from door to door :D :D
It has the new 3500Kg stated in the Revenue Weight section as requested. So I'm now fully Legal :D

90Days from start to finish isn't too bad I suppose :lol: :lol: :lol:

I went down to my local weigh bridge to get all 3 weights done, but unfortunately it was flooded. So that means a revisit hopefully next weekend.
I then went down to my local council weigh bridge, who said that they could weigh today but wanted a mere £13.80 per weight taken £41.40 for 5 mins on a weigh bridge !!! :roll: :roll: :cry:
I replied with "That's too expensive" & was promptly told to "Get on my way" :cry: :cry:

So hopefully by this time next week, I'll know my true weights & what I've got to play with ;) ;) ;)
