Re: mr2 alternator removal
any idea where i could get a copy of the type approval or the iva paperwork??
Re: mr2 alternator removal
Mr DVLA says:
"The IVA scheme is designed to certify a vehicle’s compliance with National (United Kingdom (UK)) law. There is no obligation on other European countries to accept a vehicle for registration on the basis of this approval and no guarantee that they will accept it." They don't specify how to get a copy of the certificate but a test is £450 so if the frogs will accept it, it is significantly cheaper to have it tested again here than to do it at all there!
