Of course the other option is to book it in for an MOT near the ACE ultimately that is where you are heading!
I need an MOT to tax it though. As the old MOT has run out. A fukcing nightmare!
Mark; just take it for a new MOT with the new plates on it, if the insurance has transferred to the new plates, get a booking and go for it, if you have the paper MOT it will tax fine at a local office... We'll have you spitting feathers yet!
How did you discover the problem, was it trying to tax it? The MOT system is realtime so if they are onto it because you have reported it, you can keep checking the online system maybe?
This is where it gets tricky.
It's now insured with my private plate on it.
The Mot is on the previous owners private plate.
The V5 is on the original number plate.
So if I have understood the above.
Get some plates made up on the V5, then whip it down the road and get it MOT'd on the that plate, adjust the insurance accordingly and then nip into the post office with all three bits of paperwork and tax it.
Easy peasy
Hehe!
I'm off to get some popcorn, quite enjoying how this is playing out....
Easy, but expensive.

To wipe the smile of Birdsh1ts face, money well spent
It seized and it's a complicated bit of kit as its also forms part of the air-con and heating system. No easy replacement parts available for the Ghibli so it needed to be rebuilt. Have done the same with the brake booster and alternator. Maserati don't support classics so when you have a part failure it can mean weeks or months off the road. My car is 75% restored but now finding some original components are failing after sitting for 20 years without use. Hopefully will have it back this week but let's see.Out of interest what happened to the water pump ?
Are the replacing the whole unit like I did on my Project 4200.
Cheer's Phil.
I discovered the problem trying to tax it online. The MOT system isn't real time (well that is what I was told this morning).
I'll get there!
