If your tax band has changed, you'll need to send off the V5 to have it updated with the new capacity.
Mine only took a week.

If you have no tax, then no.

yes you can run it cos it dont say the capacity on the disc if you've sent off your V% (or what ever it is nowdays) they will just send you a bill asking for the difference at some point

Or if you're pulled over and the police carry out a roadside inspection, they might pick you up on it.

So they'll ask him to produce is V5 in 14 days.. so he'd better have the form filled out and sent off by then.

Get new tax first, then send off the V5.

Take a look at the V70 form, it tells you everything you need to know
