  So upping the Swap file has seemed to make a noticeable difference. Haven't encountered this database problem so far. But as I say, it'll only be a matter of time.

  Sorry for the radio silence, I'm still here and still tinkering with the bike. Update time: Stripped down to frame/engine and carted it off to the local engineer to get the swingarm pivot sorted. Absolute nightmare of a job and I dont think the chap is any great rush to see me again...pictures to follow on that one soon. So with that I set about getting the last of the engine mounts out and finally having it fully stripped down. I'm having trouble with the rear mount however which seems to spin but not come out. When I attempted to remove the bolt I heard a troubling "crack" noise and saw what looked like a nut was spinning on the bolt. Many turns later I realised this was actually a completely circular piece of metal that looked like it had snapped off the case - a welded on part maybe? With much determination I got it off (again pics to follow) but now I'm left with the engine mount bolt which isnt for coming out. Is there another bearing/spacer or something on that bolt similar to the swingarm pivot?

  I will try and keep this updated and more readable plus add links. By all means shout out if anything is wrong or it's out of date. NOVA Get receipt with yours and sellers name on it, plus date and amount paid (preferably without the high transport costs and agent fees ) Note: at the moment the date can be old (I've done receipts 18 months old, there are no fines like with the EU bikes done online) If the bike doesn't have the foreign logbook, get a dating certificate ordered early but remember VJMC say theirs are only valid 1 year) Download the form C384. Just google 'c384 import gov.uk' and fill it in. Scan or photograph, your filled in 1) C384, 2) logbook or dating cert and 3) receipt. Send an email to ecsm.nchcars@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk with the attachments from step four. Title your email something like 'Application for Nova joe bloggs' then give it a 'Dear Sir or Madame please find attached bla bla bla' You should get confirmation email saying wait up to 10 days (they are busy) Eventually you get a quote of duty and VAT to pay. Reply saying 'I agree', then sooner or later you get a bill from another department with payment instructions. Once paid, it should appear on DVLA's database within a few days and you get emailed a final 'satisfied' letter in your name. DVLA have never asked me for this but you could print off anyway and send with your V55/5 application if you want. Registration with DVLA Order yourself a V55/5 form here https://www.gov.uk/dvlaforms You will only be filling in about 1/3 of the form. The rest is for modern cars. The reason it's easy for our bikes is DVLA don't require an SVA test for vehicles over 10 years old or require the certificate of conformity like other countries do So on number 11. You write 'Exempt' and on the final page where it asks for the reason, you write 'over 10 years old'
