Just made an alarming discovery today. Had a rear number plate made for a trailer and when walking back to my car noticed that they had made the number plate wrong. Whilst standing in line to complain I looked at my registration document and noticed that the reg document and my new plate were the same. It seems that when I bought the freelander Lookers at Bury St Edmonds had the wrong plates made - got a Y and a V mixed up....

Have spoken to a mate who is in plod and he says that I am liable if caught (although said if stopped they would proberly be understanding to situation). As I am an a upstanding member of society he thinks the only problem I would have is by being picked up by an automated camera. Will obviously get this fixed ASAP - will be interesting to see what Lookers have to say - but not the one in Bury as they closed the week after selling me mine!

my mate once got stopped as his front and rear plates where slightly different--very observant police man  At work

Exactly the same thing happened to me with my Mini Cooper. I'd been driving around for about a month before my lease company queried the reg no. I assumed they'd got it wrong, but as with you, it was an error by the supplying dealer. When I queried it, they immediately produced new plates and destroyed the original ones (and the evidence)!

I was told that my insurers coud easily have disowned the car had there been a claim; fortunately, there wasn't! Life is not a dress rehearsal!
