Last Saturday I was in the 50mph section just before the pay booths on the Servern bridge and my wife noticed a seped camera van on a bridge. Of course it was too late and like everyone around me I was doing over 50mph. I might be lucky but anyone any idea how long NIPgenerally 's take. I know about the 14 days for issue but just wondering, hoping .....

If you are the Reg Keeper of the vehicle involved and have not recently notified a change of ownership on aquisition then they have up to the last post on 30th October 2010 to serve NOIP. Delivery after this debars a prosecution for speeding..
But if it is outside this time and there is a 172 Form (name and shame the driver) with the paperwork then THIS MUST BE COMPLETED and returned within 28 days otherwise an offence....
Why is it that the advertised fuel consumption figures are never achievable I find this so annoying. I have been driving for the best part of forty years now and have never managed to equal or better these figures. As I understand it these figures are derived at in the test lab and if that is fact, then why are manufacturers allowed to state that this is achievable on the road when quite clearly it is not, surely a case for trading standards and dare I say it compensation for the mis sold motorist.
(Any further threads started unspecifically as this was with words like "Why is is" and nothing else will be summarily deleted. HJ.) Read more
All three cars I have had I have always been able to meet or beat the combined MPG for the car - unless I have been doing a lot of traffic jams or very fast motorway traffic.
I don't you can really come up with a measure that will be perfect for everyone so at least what we have now give a standarised test for all cars - although now hybrids are getting more popular there may need to be some changes done.
I am wondering if someone here is familiar with this bike.
I am trying to remove the ignition lock as I have lost the key. I have removed the steering stem bolt, suspension bolts to the top of the yoke but I still can't remove the yoke. The steering lock is on.... Read more
Not familiar with the deauville but possably
the same as my blade.
What it you jack up the front end and drop
the forks down below the top yoke. You will
still have to drill out the anti tamper ignition
bolts, but that's not too bad. Does it have the
Hiss system?
I'm seriously looking at purchasing a Honda Jazz, hopefully the last of the previous model. I was looking at Civics but grim cutbacks at work mean fuel economy is going to be paramount now, as will long term reliability. I've been a bit put off by reports on here about gearbox problems on manual Jazz models. I wondered if getting a CVT-7 model would sidestep this issue.? Perhaps the gearbox problems are isolated and I'm worrying unecessarily? I'm guessing the CVT 'box will be complicated but if its reliable then that won't, in itself be a problem, will it?
I looked briefly at the new model; it looks great and seems to have better suspension but again gearbox probs reported plus its still new enough that I'd get stung for big depreciation. I've always tended to buy cars at the end of their production run, reasoning that most major problems will have been sorted out by then (another reason to avoid '09-'10 models).... Read more
I recently bought an 07 manual Jazz and am very pleased with it overall. It's a brilliant package but the major downsides of it as discussed elsewhere are the ride and the busy engine. The ride is tolerable but I was used to a Passat which was a lot more comfortable on bad road surfaces. The gearing is quite low and the result is high revs at high speeds - having said that, it's not an unpleasant noise just a bit tiring.
As for gearbox probs, it depends whether you plan to carry on getting it serviced by a Honda dealer. If so, as I understand it, Honda will fix the manual bearings or CVT under goodwill. My mother-in-law has an 04 CVT with 65k that had a CVT clutch problem recently - fixed free of charge by the Honda dealer where she has it serviced. Apart from that problem, her Jazz has been perfect for 6 years. The CVT is surprisingly good to drive but my manual is better....
Can anyone tell me if this vehicle has a particulate filter?. The reason I ask is I am retired and will not cover the miles necessary to keep this type of filter clear of contamination. The dealer I spoke to reckons it doesn't but wasn't 100% sure.
Would be grateful for any info.... Read more
I realise this post is a little old now, but for anyone else worrying about this I don't think you have to unless all your driving is stop/start driving in town. Check out the link to the AA website:
"It should be possible to start a complete regeneration... ...simply by driving for 10 minutes or so at speeds greater than 40mph."...
