Well I gave that a go at the local post office. They are well clued up on this sort of thing and says he does these quite often. However, in my case after 3 attempts he was unable to complete the transaction. This is what was printed out:

I am a bit loathed to phone DVLA as that has never gone well in the past, just depends who you get on the phone. Anymore ideas on doing this the easy way.

I think I would just fill in the V62 form Roy and let them deal with it. As you say, if you phone up, it really depends who you speak to as to what kind of action they tell you  is needed. In my case I don't see why a dating cert was required for a UK registered bike that was bog standard and had an old V5 present.  I think your frame number was clearly stamped and the same as on the V5, so I imagine it will be pretty straightforward. My problem I mentioned hinged round the fact that the frame number wasn't very clear due to corrosion and I made the mistake of phoning them up rather than just filling in the form.

royhall:
I have filled in the required changes on the V5, and sent a covering letter and some before and after pictures to DVLA. I also sent two pictures of the old MOT's and a picture of the old tax disc. So I will see in a couple of weeks I suppose. I tried ringing them but was in a line for over 30 minutes so gave up.

Since the local LVLO offices closed it has certainly been  more difficult than ever to get anyone at DVLA to take ownership of a case. I personally have found phoning close to useless in the past. On driving licences issues I e-mailed DVLA when I was applying for my late mothers photo licence as the application form insisted on a birth certificate or current passport to confirm identity.

I e-mailed DVLA explaining that my mother had no birth certificate as her records in Austria were bombed by the RAF during WW2 and no duplicated were available. I told them that my mothers UK passport was over 10 years out of date but that her appearnace had not changed signifcantly. They e- mailed me saying they would accept an out of date passport in the circumstances but that I had to attach the DVLA letter with her postal application. Photo Driving Livence was duly issued before her 70th !
