morning Taff

glad to see you are making progress. stick at it so many people give up.
you will need both VIN number and engine number for the DVLA. the VIN numb is usually on a plate on a door pillar. the engine number is usually stamped into the deck and may be under a cylinder head. if the block has been skimmed it may be missing. naughty but you could invent one

mine is 9 digits long.i also found the VIN number on slips of paper in a wallet clipped to the sun visor.
keep up the good fight

Well, I'm not pulling a head for the engine number, not now I've got her running so sweetly!!
Got the VIN, that was on the door piller plate, guess i'm going over the engine with a torch tomorrow to find a nine digit number I can use!
Charlie, thanks for that, though even a "general" number wou probably suffice in this situation, given the low number of 292-powered Galaxies on the UK roads!
Cheers, Taff
