Check For Correct Model

[Bargy62]

Hi All

Does anybody know how i can check my new van is a T30 the dealer has registered it and the log book has come back as a T28.
Could be dealer error or could have been supplied the wrong van.

Thanks
Colin

i've had a look reads as
3000kg
5200kg
1600kg
1625kg
presumably
gross
train
axles weights and T30 is 3000kg

 

[Pauly]

Yes that’s correct 3000kg total

 

[Bargy62]

ok thanks both of you
at least its the right van i'll get it sorted with the DVLA and bypass asking the dealers to sort it out they have been enough agg already

 

[Bargy62]

Next issue
how do you know what variant it is log book says
Transporter T28 T-LN TSI BMT what does T-LN mean the T28 bit we have already sorted
It is a highline

 

[Tony&Dawn]

@Bargy62 that looks like you have a T30 Trendline, T-LN, does that sound right to you.

 

[Bargy62]

Thanks Tony
anybody know what denotes a highline is it H-LN ?

 

[Tony&Dawn]

Sorry didn’t read you had a Highline, it looks like it’s registered as a trend line.

 

[Tony&Dawn]

Thanks Tony

Yes that’s right for Highline, mine is a Startline so is ST-LN.

Check the vin number matches...

 

[Bargy62]

Thanks
I checked the VIN first thing that all matches
DVLA said send V5 back with a covering letter and their re-issue a new one

Dear DVLA
The incompetent VW dealer registered my T32 Sportline as a T28 Trendline....

Got to be worth a try....

When I got mine it said T-LN on the book but it's a Highline , had a bit of a job to get it swapped over but the independent dealer did it for me , he checked the other vans on his books and several were wrong so he was glad I spotted it !!! It now reads the correct H-LN

@Bargy62 I know you are sorting this yourself but, with the comment above, there may be other vans coming out of the dealership registered incorrectly which other, less eagle eyed, owners may not have spotted yet - probably still worth a courtesy call to the dealer to tell them about the balls up and the grief you having to go through to correct.

 

[Anthony Ball]

Hope you get it sorted , it took my dealer a few weeks to sort it out with DVLA

I honestly don't think its the dealers fault as everything else I've had from them is correct even a form proving the van was road taxed from the DVLA with all the details correct.
I reckon its DVLA human error

I’d still tell them as, wherever the problem was, if they put a few through at the same time chances are others are wrong as well.

just a quick update on this thread FINALLY got the V5C back today with all the correct details over 5 months later
but the next question is
Does a panel van to campervan/motor caravan conversion stay as N1 cat or change to M1
could anyone who knows or had a conversion lately check their V5 section J as i'm well confused.
