Cheers fella! Unfortunately that wasn't an option as Stoke man had filled in the V5C2 form with his details but never bothered to send it off. I asked the DVLA if I could do it at a local office but was told the only way to 'over write' his details would be sending it along with a completed V62 form to Swansea which is what I did. I guess I could have sent it 'internally', getting the local DVLA to send it to Swansea (and getting a receipt from them) but from past experience it's MUCH quicker to send it yourself via Special Delivery.

True, but I was thinking that even sending it internally, if you got a receipt from the local DVLA along with the car tax and insurance certificate you would be able to get the car released. yeah it'd take longer to receive the actual V5, but if the police would accept a receipt from the DVLA local office, then you'd be all sorted!
Anyways, like I said good luck missy!
