Sandesupra Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hi guys and girls! Anyone know if it would be possible to get the 7 speed DCT converison registered in the UK v5c document? Reason for asking is: In Norway it can be extreamly difficult to get anything other then Stock approved, unless it's allready registered with the modifications in a EU country. then it will pass with flying coulors.. Dont know how strict they are in the UK about gearbox mod? Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandesupra Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Anyone know about other modifications written in the v5c? like suspension uppgrades and such? does it have to get approved somewhere? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraLEDrears Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 My friend tried to change the v5c after na to tt swap. Didn't even show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullthrottle Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I don't think they worry about these things other than colour and plate number and vin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 The transmission isn't recorded on the v5. When I did my manual conversion, I called the dvla just in case it caused an issue, and they said it made no difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandesupra Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 ah:-) thanks! Over here every alteration must be approved by the dvla.. come MOT time (norwegian style) it will fail if its not got the alterations written in the registration papers.. (could get lucky though) Was thinking of having some work done and have the car registered in the uk before taking it to Norway, but it looks like Ican kiss that dream goodbye.. hehe.. Asked them about getting it pre approved because of the amount of money one would chuck into it.. but no.. they need to check everything after fitting and then maybe.. if not it must be returned to stock.. might even get a driving ban before its shown to them after returning it . to stock also..

fullthrottle Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 You could try Germany as modifications have to be TUV approved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
