As a quick response, I found this on another forum. I'm on holiday now, but if this answer is not what you're after I can check with the Stolen Vehicle Squad on my retun. Let me know.

Please enter the new details in the Changes section on your Registration Document (V5)/Registration Certificate (V5C). However, before our records can be amended, it will be necessary for you to provide documentary evidence to support the change.

This evidence can take the form of: -

A receipt of purchase containing cylinder capacity information for the replacement engine

Written confirmation from your insurance company.

Written confirmation by the manufacturers.

If the change took place before you purchased the vehicle, written confirmation from a garage would also be acceptable.

The Registration Document/Certificate and documentary evidence should be sent to DVLA. Only original documentation is acceptable and it will be returned after verification. If you do not have a Registration Document/Certificate, please complete form V62* which can be obtained from the Post Office® or for download from our website listed below and return it with your original letter and documentary evidence to DVLA.

If, however, you also need a tax disc for the vehicle, you can get one from your nearest DVLA Local Office by completing the form V10 (available at the Post Office®), which must be accompanied by the Registration Document/Certificate. DVLA Local Office addresses can be found on our website listed below. Alternatively, to find the nearest Local Office serving your postcode please telephone 0870 243 0444.

If the V5/V5C is not available and you are the registered keeper on DVLA records, you can apply to tax your vehicle at any DVLA Local Office using forms V62* and V10.If you are not the registered keeper you need to complete and return form V62* to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1DD to obtain a Registration Certificate. Please be aware that there is a charge of £19 for a V5C registration certificate, unless you are in possession of a V5 registration document/V5C registration certificate or the green V5/2 or V5C/2 “new keeper supplement�.

Issue of the certificate may take up to 6 weeks if the previous keeper has not notified DVLA of the sale of the vehicle. A tax disc cannot be applied for until you receive the V5C in your name. Please ensure your application is supported by the appropriate documentary evidence.
