I'm butting in, but, I'm with Adrian Flux & on reading the small print concerning change of details, they want Ã‚Â£15.00 for a 'standard alteration' (ie; address) :x

Just phoned insurance up to change the details of the reg and they've charged me Ã‚Â£30.22 for administration cost

The best way to get round this is to insure your vehicle on it
'Vehicle Identifacation Number' VIN..

I insured my Discovery on it's VIN Number as I had to change my
private plate over from the old Disco to the new Disco...

No need to inform the insurance company of the change of number
plate... :lol:

Most companies won't want to insure your vehicle on it's VIN number
but if you tell them it will be undergoing a 'Cherished Transfer' they
will do it for you....

Yeah I heard this story, better not let him catch you saying that.

He'll get it muddy soon....... won't ya Frank :D :D

Bush Tucker Man · « **Reply #126 on:** March 03, 2004, 18:07:28 »

I thought you said you'd put 'Boost' (50th) alloys on it Frank?

Andy. · « **Reply #127 on:** March 03, 2004, 21:13:52 »

Very nice Frank :D

A brilliant shine on your motor, well done that man :lol: :lol: :lol:

:idea: I think we need a mud posse only vehicle gallery - all those sporting the MUD plates, maybe some form of register?! How do we go about this, and wheres the best place to put it on the forum? :?:

Frankie-Boy · « **Reply #130 on:** March 04, 2004, 11:12:46 »

Richard,

When I asked about alloys that were fitted to 50ths, these were the ones I was offered, I assumed them to be correct but Sogster said they were different to his, Land Rover supplied them but they called them "XS", apparently they're easier to clean than the "Boost" ones, (according to Sogster)

Regards

Frankie-Boy · « **Reply #131 on:** March 04, 2004, 11:21:16 »

Andy,

I'm sorry to say that the motor hasn't seen polish for about a year now, the shine you see is residual, it was done with a quality product though.

I'm not planning to get it muddy at all, sorry folks.

I will go along to meets etc with others and let them do the cleaning afterwards, (it's not one of my favourite jobs - nor is polishing either heh, heh), I will possibly get another toy later if the right vehicle comes along AND if the council leave us anywhere to drive, I don't want to keep a second motor for the occasional Tixover or Aston Cantlow meeting.

Bush Tucker Man · « **Reply #132 on:** March 04, 2004, 15:36:28 »

Frank, as you say the alloys you've got are the model that was fitted to the XS Discovery - most often identified by the black variated dotted transfers along the sills/door-bottoms.

'Sogs' says they're easier to clean than 'Boost'
Wouldn't know about cleaning them myself :D

Moose · « **Reply #133 on:** March 04, 2004, 21:26:30 »

I had one of those in Red - see attached, no one used to cut me up, I think they thought I was a fire tender or similar

Oh - it also proves I venture of the black stuff now and again :D

Excellent idea Dave, I all for that idea :D

Frank, well it looks cleaner than Bushies 50th that's for sure :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nice pic Moose even though it is Red and not Blue

Frankie-Boy · « **Reply #136 on:** March 05, 2004, 11:18:00 »

Datalas,

DVLA still have some for sale - so it's not too late

Hi All
Just a quick note, I have noticed C20 MUD on a series 3? in my village and wondered if anybody recognisies it.
If not shall I mention this to the owner.
Cheers
Bev

Wanderer · « **Reply #138 on:** March 07, 2004, 21:50:44 »

Just looked and

K 500 MUD is available for Ã‚Â£280 and might look like

KS 00 MUD on the right vehicle.

I'm happy enough with EDZ....

It's around 30 years too late for my motor.

The only valid ones for '68/72 are like Ã‚Â£2000 :(

Would have to get a new car first :(

I followed this 90 round the Drumclog offroad site on Sunday, would he count for membership of the MUD posse?

Ben · « **Reply #142 on:** March 09, 2004, 19:33:25 »

Got overtaken by a $hogun today with an interesting twist on the theme...

D1KTY - the K was modified to look like an R - D1RTY!!! It was spotless :(

Interestingly (or not - more like sad!!!) there was a program on Men and Motors called "Number Plate Heaven" the other night. Have a look here for more details.

The defender's a bit of a paradox at the moment (a la Andy!) It's really clean 'cos I got fed up ending up covered in mud every time I got in or out. It's embarrasing actually - the Passat's muddier :?

Cheers

Ben

Surely you don't mean me Ben :?:

Any way Franks is not so dirty as well, and besides if its plastered in mud you would'nt be able to see the plate :lol:

Frankie-Boy · « **Reply #144 on:** March 10, 2004, 05:49:11 »

Andy,

Don't read too much into the next statement but yesterday I bought a set of Disco wheels complete with BFG MUD's, so you never know, I might just start getting it dirty again.

What I do know is - I want to get something dirty :? , might be the Disco, might not.

Recieved my new log book through the post today, or should that be Registration Certificate.

It's crap, new look no longer called a V5 but now a V5C.

Quote: ' Theses certificates have been designed to comply with the European Directive to harmonise Vehicle Registration Certificates across the European Community.'

It's like an A4 booklet, much preferred the old style, so why change and are we part of Europe all of a sudden
