Can anyone suggest a way forward to a friends dilema. He has a Lunar Roadstar 786 which was register as PLG by the supplying dealer from new. As this is the same vehicle as mine I questioned why this was, as mine was registered as PHG because the MAM is 3850kg and he was paying £40 a year more in road tax.
So he went to DVLA to change the registration but they would not accept the Alko plate as proof. There a 2 plates on the vehicle the original Fiat Plate showing 3500kg and the one for the Alko chassis conversion showing 3850kg.
He enquired of Lunar the original manufacturers who say that their records show it is correctly registered as PLG because it is 3500kg.
I remember when I had a previous Lunar 780 and it was incorrectly registered all I did was altered the V5 and took it to the local DVLA office and it was accepted no problem.
Has anyone else had a similar problem and how did they overcome it?
