thanks for the info david.

when i brought the van it had nothing at all on it so i spent a small fortune over the last few days updating the security on it like a top of the range hitch lock, wheel clamp, alarm etc plus im waiting for cris to send me a form to fill in to register the van with them (and have some electronic tag put in and the windows etched).

I have just phoned CRIS about registering my van as it hasn't been registered due to being foreign.  Because it is foreign built they wanted £36.25.  I can't see it being worth registering.  Rather then have the van back,a long way down the line, I would rather have the insurance money.  It has a chassis nmber to identify it. 

It would give me a document for when I come to sell it, but I hope that is going to be many years away.

well even tho my van is quite old its having the piece of mind that its all taged up and chipped.

Tags and chips won't stop any theft.  As CRIS pointed out themselves and has been mentioned by people on here, it is only when someone tries to check the CRIS registration on the van they have bought that they highlight the fact the van is stolen.

I have plenty of piece of mind knowing the van is insured.
