Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Can’t find much when I did a google search Was in car parts place and he said my car reg is saying I have an estate when it’s a hatchback, said the vin is ok I looked in logbook and its down as a MPV as best as I can figure out its section D.3 Do I need to get onto someone to change it from estate? Thanks

Don't know why you'd bother. An MPV is just an inflated "estate car" to all intents and puposes.

That's normal enough in recent years. Many VW Golf hatchbacks are classified as estate on their reg cert. Clerical error either by the VRO or Motor Tax office at the time. Makes no difference to the owner in reality.

You can change it if you want but doesn’t really matter
