Certificate of Conformity


Recommended Posts

Hello All

Just got my Vellfire delivered last night :) I am new here and struggle to find a topic about Certificate of Conformity. Would anyone be able to direct me to the right place? I understand that Toyota would be able to issue one but i suspect it may take decades. If the cert is not an option would you be able to help with V55 form  information e.g. emission details, sound performance etc?

 

Car details: 

 

Vellfire GGH25

3.5V6 4WD 

 

Thank You 

Pete

Mine doesn't pass as it a 2005 model but doesn't make sense as it the same v6 engine that in a 2006 model

 

Maybe but has a different gearbox. Your throttle is cable operated, later models are "fly by wire''

Wouldn't surprise me if the emissions are lower on the later model

I believe yours has a 4 speed, the Gen 1 facelift has a 5 speed.

 

What do you need a C of C for ?

Your 2005 is unlikely to be ULEZ compliant if that is your need.

The facelift model is an updated model of the model I believe you have.

If I am correct, you have what is known as a Gen (eration) 1

The later model is known as a Gen 1 Facelift. There are subsequent Gen 2 and Gen 3 models.

 

There are changes between the two versions.

 

If you have a 4 speed auto box you have a Gen 1

If you have a 5 speed auto box you have a Gen 1 Facelift.

 

The changeover year was 2005, September as I recall.

 

My view is that the Gen 1 is not ULEZ compliant, and the Gen 1 facelift is.

 

If your vehicle is registered at DVLA.

Type your registration into Transport for London for ULEZ compliance ( it's not a certificate though ).

The DVLA website will inform you when your vehicle was manufactured.

So mine must be gen 1 was first reg in July 2005

 

Almost certainly.

The 4 speed,  or 5 speed is the real clue.

The rear light clusters are also quite different.

So are the front lights for the most part.  Most facelifts have AFS projector headlamps, the pre facelift didn't come with AFS I don't believe (they either had reflector halogen or reflector xenon lamps).
