Log book

Hi all, I received a new log book the other day for the frontera, even though i did not apply for one.
The new one was red and a note attached said it was a replacement for the original blue one, as the dvla has had a theft of blank blue v5's and are now re-issuing all drivers with red ones instead.
Has anyone heard of this because all the people i have asked know nothing about it :shifty:

Cheers Daz

i got a new red V5 aswell this week.

I got one about 2 weeks ago

Oh thats ok then ......i thought i was just special! lol :lol:

I received a new one and so has Greg.

The section for scrapping a car has gone too.

They've had a load of blank log books nicked from the dvla.

I received the new red one following trade i did with jay. Our work vans are all 59 and 60 reg so obviously all red. didnt notice the absence of no scrapping....

Woohoo will I get one?? Could be a bonus i've lost mine !!

No Paul...only people who deserve red log books get them...sorry mate...

Get some more mods on ya truck and then maybe DVLA will consider it... :lol:

Update

all our 59 vans at work just got red books in

But.. But.. Daves too shiny to have mods done

ive just paid £25 for a new one, i lost the last one.

Everyone with a vehicle will eventually recieve the red V5.

I have one for my Nissan ... but a blue one for the Bighorn and the wifes Arsetra.

It was in response to the stolen ones and introduced about 2 years ago now I think.

Important things with the new one is the scrappage side of things. It now means that any vehicle with a red document has to be taken to an authorised dismantler ... I was speaking to my scrppy when I got one and he said that he is authorised so business as normal, and most scrap yards will just get the license to be authorised dismantlers. Its just an excercise o make sure that scrap yards dispose of old oil, air-con gas etc properly due to enviromantal pressures.

Given a bit of time things will be business as normal I reckon.

You will recieve one for both your other vehicles according to DVLA.

What if i stripped the hell out of something then just sold the chassis and remaining bodywork to a scrappy? nothing to dismantle....

It still has a registration so has to be taken to a approved recyling center.
Should of put only if on the new style log book.
