Hello everybody
I moved to Scotland last week now that I had a bit of time to settle things related to my place and getting the basics sorted its time to work on officially importing the 06 Wee.
Thing is I even after reading the gov.uk site I still have no clue what I need to do. So I was hoping the nice folks around here could help me out
I should use the online Notification of Vehicle Arrivals thing within 14 days which won't really work since it will take longer then that to get the national insurance number. Is the do it in 14 days or be fined part actually enforced or is it more of a general guideline?
Next is vehicle approval. Next I need to get the European Certificate of Conformity. I guess I have to contact Suzuki directly and this is not something the nearest dealer might have laying around?
The main thing I have not been able to find a clear answer to was what to do with the speedo. It's an Irish bike so the lights and all are fine. But the speedo is in km/h. For registering I found people saying everything from you need to replace the back plate of the speedo, through just put a few mph stickers on it to its OK if you use a GPS or something that shows mph. Anyone for knows for sure what I need here?
I also guessing I have to get the MOT done at some stage here. Correct me if I am wrong it should be report the the bike being here, get the paperwork from revenue once all that is done and the bike is ready to get a UK number plate get MOT and then go wherever you go to get new plates?
