Re: New stage 1 owner - help registering with DLVA?

BTW, I've read somewhere that Stage One's might well have their chassis stamped on the left hand rear instead of the front right hand dumb iron, so it might be genuine. The details match with the VIN too. As for the 14 digit VIN, well that's just because the Manufacturer code for Land Rover (SAL) i...

Re: New stage 1 owner - help registering with DLVA?

Ah so that long number is just what the vehicle complies with ADR wise! Yeah I had a good look at the RHF rail and definitely couldn't find anything, had a good look all all of the front part of the chassis before moving to the back and finding that chassis number.

Re: New stage 1 owner - help registering with DLVA?

Yeah I matched the chassis number with the VIN on the plate in the engine bay. The chassis number was on the rear left spring hanger which took me ages to work out, everywhere online suggested it should be on the front right :roll: Only problem is I can't find any records of that VIN with any AUS vi...

Here's what I bought: https://iili.io/XwQE6Q.jpg https://iili.io/Xwbql4.jpg According to the Vin it was originally a 5 door station wagon, but as you can tell has since b...
