Simple really fella . I used a company called VINTAGS UK tel: 01302 843175 . They supplied my new Vin plate ,about £50. Giving them a call will help. You will need V5c log book , copy of driving licence and your new van weights .( I copied my mates plate weights which were 3000)
3500 )
1600 )
1760 )

When I received my new sticker I filled in the changes on my V5 and along with this, a copy of my new vin and a short note explaining that my van is unlikely to be used as a 330 and would like it to be down plated, Send to DVLA, 4 weeks later received my new V5 showing 300 and no longer 330.
Job done . No mods where required other than getting a sticker and sticking over original

Van passed its MOT as a class 4 on Monday

Thanks mate. Does the actual vin number on the dash that can be seen through the windscreen need changed ?

Sorry mate you misunderstood a bit . you only need to change the weights on your vin plate sticker located inside door the vin number stays the same as this is your van ID

Hi. Did you have to send proof that it had been down weighted with a picture of the weight certificate and a picture of the back of the van and the reg. I was told that on the phone to DVSA. Maybe I shouldn't have bothered phoning them to ask. Also did you just put 3000 in the new revenue weight bit in the changes. Thanks

And she's almost finished just the wheels to change now


Side bars fitted



And the lights connected

Brilliant job Mate Is that just polishing

Mine wants a few dents filling and I was going to get it sprayed, but if you did that with polish I might have a go.

Had mine about 3 years but only just found this thread

Martyn did my bcm stuff, and I got my diff done by the Halifax guys, but it's been wining so I swapped the whole axle out last month. I have fitted side windows and got a rear door with a window and wiper (have to visit Martyn to get that operational), plus I've fitted second row of seats out of a Tourneo.

It's still a work in progress after all this time

All looking great there, shiny like the wheels are they bk?

So tango, wh and martynx have orange vans, that i know of, did all of you swap the axles?

YES

Don't know about the wheels though.

I got the boys in Halifax to swap the diff first Mate, but after three years it was getting noisy again so I got a newer secondhand one and swapped the lot

Swapping the whole thing cost me a little bit less when you factor in the oil seals and bits plus tools against the trip up to Halifax

Yes I swapped my wheels too, but I stuck with 16s as I couldn't get the load rated tyres for 18s. Martyn down rated his so he gets over it that way, but I wanted to keep the capacity for the extra load and towing
