What am I missing? I can't see how this delays things as the dealer still does the registering, just not the printing.
I can't understand why this is a big deal for some dealers yet a non-issue for others.

Mark that is because the documentation that arrives with the car once it arrives in the UK has to be sent ito the DVLA in order to get the V5 registration documentation. Only when registered can it be taxed.
My dealer has told me that i will get the car as soon as it is registered. It will not be displaying a tax disc in the screen and will have the 14 day grace period from date of registration during which time the tax disc should arrive. The DVLA are saying that if after 8 days you have not received the tax you can apply for a duplicate at certian post offices.
Seems to be that the government has taken a system that worked and is turning it to s**t!!!
