David Horgan 564 Posted June 27, 2020 Tax it , put it your name , wait for new V5 to arrive back , put plate on retention , assign the car with original plate , wait for new V5 to arrive , put car back in trade Simples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is held by two screws, these may be hidden under plastic covers, either yellow or black in colour, then you'll see the screws, turn them to the left with a suitable instrument, usually a "screw driver" will suffice, remember, lefty for Lucy, right for tighty 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave2302 387 Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) LOL .................. Re the DVLA & plate retention, I don't think you'll find it needs be taxed, as long as it's not had a gap in Sorn or it's also ok untaxed (IIRC) if it's In Trade Edited June 28, 2020 by Dave2302 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
