Problem with logbook and tax
Hello all. I recently bought a v4 STI and the logbook stated it was a GL although it is a STI. Obviously i have insured it as a STI and i also sent logbook off to be changed to it's true model. I sent logbook off about 3 weeks ago and still not recieved it back yet.
My car tax is due soon and i dont have any part of the logbook so how would i go about taxing the car? or will i have to take it off the road?

All you need is the tax disc form they send you, proof of MOT and insurance. This is assuming you've already recieved the logbook from the purchase with your details on, but now you've sent it back. If so you'll be ok

Also saves waiting in the long post office queue at the end of the month when everyone and their granny is out to get their car tax

This is where the problem is. When i bought the car i got the new keeper part but never recieved a logbook in my name. Car was purchased in june so should of got it by now. I phoned dvla up and they said i will have to fill a v62 form to recieve a logbook. I completed the form and it states if i am the new owner i need to send the new keeper piece in or pay £25. I sent all documents in and i included a letter stating the model is incorrect and it is a WRX STI. Could that be a problem? not sure if i need to get the car looked at by the dvla to confirm true model.
I am not sure if car is in my name yet so will that effect doing it online as they will send to previous owner?

I had a similar problem.
If you've sent the v5 off and don't have a tax disc reminder then I think you are knackered until you receive either of those in the post.
The reminder probably went to the previous owner so I'd be inclined to get on the phone and hound the DVLA / try and push them on to get it sorted.
I've changed a couple of details on my V5 and it's been changed without any question by return. Hopefully ypu're new v5 is just around the corner.

That sounds promising then if no problems in changing details of car. It has only been 3 week so maybe i am just worrying over nothing.
Thanks all.

You can tax it online with the reg number, but you need the V5 reference if you don't have the tax reminder. If you have any part of the V5 or a copy, you will have that reference. The problem is where the tax disc will be sent if the database hasn't been updated.
