To be fair ian, I didn't! I was even told to get an agreed policy and it flew straight over my head, with age and everything else against me I snapped up the quote, so anyway iv called them up and got it sorted! I'm still hoping I won't need to use it tho!

Iv not bothered yet, tried contacting the guy i bought the engine of but i presume hes now scrapped and hasn't got the v5 anymore, iv told my insurance and i also had no rise in premium, bless ya aviva!!

Mine has just been bounced back to me, they want some evidence!!! Tossers! They also want the original document for evidence purposes so a copy of the one that I got for the insurance co. isn't good enough for them.

thanks for the reply, to be honest i'm not worried about the "getting tugged side of it" its simply a case of i suppose lazyness on my part, finding the number on an oil saturated engine(as i was in a rush to get it in so i didnt give it a thorough clean down and was under orders not to co...

I have just converted to 1y and was wondering if its a requirement to fill in the engine number section in the logbook?? or if there are any benefits to adding it, other than tracing the engine if stolen??

The dipstick tube on both my 1Y and old 1.6 have no seal - just an interference fit, no seal/sealant. No leaks. i thought that was the case but removed 1y dipstick,was a tight fit with no seal, then inserted cs dipstick, i have around 3 or 4 mm play at least, so i checked the old hole for a sleeve/...
