Hi there,

After finding out I had secured my new car, I soon discovered that my V5 had gone missing. Not only this, as I hadn't seen it since we moved, can also only assume that it was in the old address.

I sent off for the replacement last Wednesday with a £25 postal order (cant they take Paypal these days) and I'm eagerly watching the door for it to arrive... Has anyone had a good experience with this?

I have been told my new Focus will be delivered, serviced and ready next Wednesday so, whilst not a religios man, I'm crossing my fingers and chasing bird crap in the vain hope that it arrives sooner, rather than later!

Your V5 would usually arrive within 14 days.

Has anyone ever been to their local offices for a V5 replacement? Is it even possible?

Its totally my fault for being a goon and not replacing it earlier of course, but I do believe I can locate the V5 from my previous address. As far as I know, all they do is fill in the slips and I send off what's left to relinquish ownership (been a while) think this is still viable or taking the urine? :-)

I don't want to miss out on getting my new motor on the day, just because of that.

think its got to come from central @ swansea...

Yep, Swansea do all the V5 forms.

I rang them today, they weren't keen to be helpful and basically just quoted the website for lead times.

I have found my 'old' one in my name, but previous address. I wonder if it'll be enough? I guess I could send this one off for replacement but then I could be left without anything for next week.
