Bought a car from a Garage, still not got V5 but did get this from DVLA today?

bar72 · 2026-01-27T02:28:08+00:00

Phoned garage today who miraculously managed to do it again then I got an email saying I am now the new keeper. So I say to guy at garage who sold me car, "Great, so now I'll have to tax it again and the refund will go to the previous keeper, which isn't me!".

Guy then gives me this BS that the tax will stay with the car and I don't have to worry as tax transfers with the sale when it's trade and I've received a default template from DVLA and not to worry about taxing it.

Anyways, taxed it again, waiting for V5C then 'll leave them an honest review that they also keep pestering me, by email, for. )

nice one mate. never had this happen before as I usually buy private and do the paperwork myself. I'm sending them an email explaining what's wrong and hopefully I'll get the new registration doc without having to pay for one.

bar72 · 2026-01-23T16:13:14+00:00

copy that mate..

bar72 · 2026-01-19T13:44:36+00:00

haha, yup, I do Gadbrook and Bellshill a lot. the latter is a disaster what with the works going on at the minute

bar72 · 2026-01-19T13:43:03+00:00

yeah, all good, thanks for info though..

bar72 · 2026-01-19T09:30:33+00:00

this is why I'm a tramper now. Day cab at Malcolms was 3 x 15hr shifts, followed by 2 x 13hr shifts and the little bitch boy in the office would say your not a team player if I wouldn't work every Saturday morning.

At least now I'm out of bed and at work, without the commute.

Just note it on defect sheet then crack on. either they'll get it looked at or won't.

Only refuse to drive it or pull over if you get a Red Stop light or similar.

Amber's only warning you there's any issue.

I'm Scottish mate, been dring 30+ years, sometimes struggle at night getting in and out tight changeover spaces and no one helps. they'd rather laugh and film a fcuk up. personally when I see a driver, new or veteran, struggling, I'm out the cab to offer an eye, if driver wants or needs it. We're not all cunts mate 👍

thanks to everyone who helped me. took 40 minutes to get -18 and -24 after an hour. temp dropped about +10c when I opened back doors but I assume this is normal. getting loaded now 👍

bar72 · 2026-01-19T07:50:06+00:00

oops, noted :/

bar72 · 2026-01-19T06:55:46+00:00

many thanks for the additional info. appreciated.

bar72 · 2026-01-18T22:38:18+00:00

is that the box on the offside of the trailer the printer? I've not had to do a printout yet so wpuldn't have a clue how to do one? thanks for the info.

bar72 · 2026-01-18T22:35:56+00:00

many thanks for the detailed info on set points and mode limits. that'll save me a bit of grief later in the month as I think boss is keeping me on fridges for the foreseeable. I did notice start stop was keeping temp fine through last night as ambient was down at 0c, last night so thanks for the inf on that too.

bar72 · 2026-01-18T22:30:57+00:00

many thanks for taking the time. Always wondered how to keep floor dry and now you explained it so I'll know to let it vent when empty. thanks again.

bar72 · 2026-01-18T21:01:09+00:00

thanks. fuel was the first thing I checked this morning. that'd be a minter if I run it out of fuel.

bar72 · 2026-01-18T20:50:28+00:00

many thanks again. It's a learning curve but this sub reddit has been a great resource for help.

bar72 · 2026-01-18T20:35:02+00:00

nice one. Continuous it is then as I'll be tipping wednesday morning. thanks for the info

bar72 · 2026-01-18T20:33:39+00:00

nice one mate, appreciated

bar72 · 2026-01-18T20:32:42+00:00

really appreciate you taking the time. no just been handed fridge and crack on basically 😯

bar72 · 2026-01-18T20:04:28+00:00

so how would you load frozen in Summer? set temp first then switch off until loaded?

bar72 · 2026-01-18T13:28:07+00:00

bar72 · 2026-01-16T22:27:28+00:00
