tax free and birth certificates

Just FYI, You can get the same data that's on the birth certificate on a data sheet, it's not as pretty but only costs 10 euros vs 35 euros for the birth cert

 

they've put the price up massively. I've just successfully imported and registered using an M-Code print out
;D

 

I paid about £40. a few years ago and all i got was a letter from Vw Uk saying :
To whom it may concern the Reg ******** Chassis ********* was built in dec 1972 !!!!
I suppose thats all i need to get Free Tax ? but a Certificate would have been nice ;D

 

what's an m-code and where do i find it? :-[

 

got it! now what??

 

interior was/is the dark beige i still have some of the original panels in the cellar.
and it had 'double the amount of petrol' something to do with trains (?) at least they could tell, i've never had the sender working

 

Trying to use the decoder but unsure what number goes in where....

Do I enter the chassis number or what? The only plate I have found on mine is the silver one behind the drivers seat....

Help

 

This is a birth certificate, i got mine from Germany, as said above you don't need one but it's nice to have...note though they are not perfect .....m code for fog lights? ermmmmmmm no!

This is what an m plate looks like they are metal and riveted on, don't confuse it with a sticker behind the seat saying paint colours etc.

 

Am I right in thinking that these bad boys are now 50 euros from the VW museum?

 

Yes, this is what I paid...

Or you can obtain a letter from the UK VW owners club but they require you to become a member, this is still cheaper but I really wanted a certificate & not just a letter...

However reading further down they could say your vehicle requires an inspection and you have to pay costs for this so it could cost more than 50 euro...
