If i put a new engine in.... (road tax question)

Question

if i put a new engine (out of a car registered after 2002) into a 1995 car does that mean ill beable to pay roadtax in the new bands because the co2 output of that engine is known or am i still going to get robbed on the extortionate rate for older cars

Answer 1

Not sure dude but give them a ring and explain it to them, be sure to register the new engine in the new car and ya never know it might happen for ya..Best of luck Regards

Answer 2

I think you will need to get the emissions checked  

Answer 3

You might have to pay tax rate on the 2002 engine, rather than the registration plate.  I would have a quick word with dvla before you change the engine, as chances are you might be paying out more tax than you did before

Answer 4

good question, the answers should be interesting

Answer 5

As far as I know you pay by the registration of the car. You would need to inform the DVLA of the new engine number. I would guess that you could ring them and find out.

very interesting question though.

Answer 6

You must remember to notify the DVLA of the new engine number on the registration book.
