Having now placed my own reg plate on retention and got the new log book it has taken from the 3 August to try and get the new tax disc and MOT certificate at least 15 days later and I still have not got it. I suppose being a government department having long tea breaks is more important than getting on with their jobs.
I keep getting reassured I can drive my vehicle with the new number plates on and new log book and insured under the new plates, but it is not them who may get stopped by the police and fined for not displaying the right road fund licence disc on the car or not being able to produce the correct MOT certificate as it was passed on my own personal plates.

It really makes one sick thinking of tax payers money and the hundreds of thousands of pounds these people get in a salary each year without proper training or supervision Ex 2010 Freelander2 GS-e Diesel manual Silver owner

I didn't change my plates over till I had all the new paperwork.

Well they better get their finget out of their teacups at the DVLA as I've just applied to have my private plates changed over to my new FL2.

And I won't take any nonsense from them ......
.. or maybe I should just sent them a pack of Tunnocks Teacakes? FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Just heard, they sent the tax disc and MOT cert to the garage not to me. I just can't express how much and thick the planks they are at the DVLA .Log book to me and rest to garage UNBELIEVABLE Ex 2010 Freelander2 GS-e Diesel manual Silver owner
