General Car Chat / To SORN or not to SORN ?

« on: 18 June 2014, 18:00:14 »

Hi guys (and any gals)
Its been a long time since I sold a car and looking at the dvla website I am completely confused.
Here is situation: I am about to sell my 2.5 v6 cd saloon, now it is mot`d  and taxed but not insured and is kept on private drive, but is registered in my name.
My question is really , do I have to declare it SORN until I sell it , if so how can anyone test drive it or even take it away if it is SORN`d.?
Supposing I sell it one evening out of office hours and I let the purchaser drive it away already asking if they have insurance of course, am I then in trouble for it being on the road when SORN`d by me ?
Do I have to cancel the SORN in some way?
Appreciate any words of wisdom
Cheers
Adam

Hi guys
Just got around to doing a paper clip test for my misfiring problem and I'm getting
135 which it says is Telltale ( check light ) voltage low .
Please can someone tell me what that means and what needs doing .
It seems I was wrong about burning oil by the way.
Please pick your brains folks
Cheers

Help pls guys
2.5 v6 cd auto
Went to start her last evening and she started but running very rough as if not firing on all cylinders !
Thought it might be due to damp or fuel so put new fuel in but still not better.
Left it overnight as it was p..ing down , went out this morning and still same, I also noticed that a smell of oil burning or similar was coming from exhaust .
Help pls ... Is it bad ?
Thanks

Hi you knowledgeable people out there
This is prob a stupid question but, swmbo says thats what im good at !
Anyway my old girl ( the 2.5 v6 one) is struggling a bit at times at moment under acceleration and definitely when I last towed the caravan, now someone suggested i could get the engine re mapped or something to get some more oomph back in the old girl .
Is this true or am i getting it all wrong ?
Thanks in anticipation

Hi....Its summer and hot so of course the aircon is not working properly!!
Found a company local who repair and service etc but only R134A systems.
Can anyone tell me if that is the type that would be fitted to my 2000 2.5v6 cd baby?
