You don't need the reference any more - if you provide the car details it will find the records without the reference.Originally posted by TonyEnglish"Can do it online these days IIRC. I guess the disc arrives in the post but you're on the database from day one."
I wanted to do this last time I had to buy my tax. On my form it said that I should enter a referance number which was in a certain bit of my form. However on my form, this whole section was taken up with an advert telling me that I could renew online. I called them up to see how I could renew and was told that because of this advert, I'd have to go to the post office. Joined up thinking at its best!
