so even though I clearly informed the DVLA that I had swapped engines in a peugeot 405 style from a NAD to a TD, notwithstanding that the rolling chassis are just about identical and both engines were commonly fitted and the swap is utterly straightforward, DVLA have changed the engine number, noted the engine change but not altered the vehicle to a 405 Style TD so having clearly pointed the fact of the engine upgrade to TD to my insurer (churchill) and recieving my new cert, it was written inexplicably as a Like for like swap and still named a style D so I rung them up and told them it was a TD to be told that Churchill consider my car (Now) as "Modified" due to the increase in power of over 10 per cent.
They said it was their "Mistake" but at the end of my current policy (july) they will not renew on this vehicle, and my excess went from £100 to £350 just like that.
1) have I any redress with the DVLA
2) does anyone know an insurer who will give me a fair quote, It is still really a bog standard Car
Its been stress on legs and if the wife finds out.....Oh Dear!
