Interesting day yesterday and a quick update - no V5 in the post from the DVLA so phoned them and they had not received it. Checked the track and trace on the recorded delivery from the Post Office and they don't know where it is and have declared it lost!! After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing around various Post Offices to find the right form, we resubmitted our request with a begging letter asking the DVLA to process it asap. We now know that the form has been delivered to the DVLA today but a phone call asking them the status just elicited the response that we have to wait. So, that's where we are. We have decided to head off to Exmoor House Caravan Club site in Dulverton tomorrow and stay there until Monday when hopefully there will be some news on the V5. If not, we will try another site and location - might as well make the most of our time in the UK travelling to places we haven't been before.
