On a daily basis I park in my local train station car park. I dont commute in the normal rush hour and when I get to the station to catch a train leaving after 10.00am, it is difficult to park as the station car park is almost at capacity. I always pay by the same method, via my mobile phone.

You dont get a court summons for failing to inform the DVLA, you first get a letter detailing that they have issued a penalty fine.
This would then be followed up by other letters....
why does my citroen xanthia kick into a low gear when it comes to a stop then sometimes there is a red light by the gauges that says stop meaning it has no brakes so i have to use my hand brake? Read more
Red "Stop" light usually means that the hydraulic system's turned its toes. On that car a hydraulic failure loses the brakes, suspension, power steering and a few other important things as well, hence the "Stop" indication.
Quite probably the hydraulic pump on its last legs, as it would seem you are suffering from a catastrophic pressure drop at low engine speeds. You definately should not be using the car in that state, it's very dangerous.

Right, so it's better to make hydrogen by using massive amounts of electricity (or any energy) to convert water to hydrogen and then back to electricity, That's incredibly inefficient and such a waste of energy.

While looking on the web last week I came across a car a local dealership in Worcester that I wished to look at. I met the salesman and he told me that the car was for sale for £5495 but it was not there and could be brought for me to veiw it as it was at one of the other dealerships within the group. I said to the salesman I would like to view the car on Saturday at 10am. The next day the sales man phoned me up to ask if I was still coming to view the car and I said yes and he said he would be going to fetch to car.
Within five minutes he rang back and said the car had been sold, but there was other cars on the forcourt for me to view. I declined his offer.... Read more
The local Trading Standards dept at your council might be interested too.
