Cool, what did the DVLA have to say about the HPI records then?

they said theres no bad  history with the car and if it had been a cat C,D then that gets logged on the log book v5 cirtificate or sometimes they hold the logbook until the car goes for a VIC check  so my guess it was a crap txt thing that i did  so my advise  do a good hpi check not a 3 quid txt thingy !! i have the logbook back and all is ok !
