Having experience,as part of my work, of medical enquiries resulting in suspension of a licence all the letters I have seen have advised that the licence will be suspended with effect from a future date, usually about a week after the letter has realistically been received.

The letter also includes the appeals process for both England and Scotland.

In January I had an accident. It was pouring rain and my car span when coming off a roundabout. At the time the police said my brake pedal should have had a rubber cover and it did not. I wasn’t aware of this.

Today I have received notice that I have been charged for having defective brake - however the report from the police is inaccurate - particularly stating that my foot slipped on the brake when this is not the case and actually I tried to brake and the car just span - I think because of the weather and possible aquaplaining.

1. Is there any point pleading not guilty?

2. is there any chance that with mitigating circumstances - weather, not being aware about the need of a rubber pedal cover, inaccuracies in report and seven months pregnant at the time - that I will not receive the penalty points if I do plead guilty? Read more

I'm wondering if "defective brakes" could be understood to apply to the whole braking system, from point of physical contact with the driver through to the wheels; in which case the pedal and its facing could be part of it.

I hope you get caught and they throw away the key.

Hi - my question is in relation to my nephew who purchased an Audi S1 back in October on a PCP.

He's a bit of workaholic (strange for a 19 year old) and has saved more than 15% for a house deposit, but, because he has a car on PCP, all the mortgage companies he's tried have said no. Their reasons are all the same, you cannot have the extra burden of debt whilst you still have a car on PCP.... Read more

Hello,

I am looking at buying an Audi A3 mainly due to its build quality and the reliability and economy of the 1.9TDI engine, which seems to have been used from 04-07. This same engine seems to have been modified to a 1.9TDIE around 2008 and has a lower road tax then the older generation I assume this is because it's had a DPF fitted? ... Read more

Does anyone know which engine codes are not fitted with a Dpf apart from BXE ?

Hi - My 2000 Ford Ranger has a 75A alternator part no WL81 18 300 - what I am wondering is, can I install a 70A alternator part no WL91 18 300? Will the lower ampage make any difference? Read more

Can’t see that being a problem. 5 amps is a minimal difference

I was wondering if anyone has had experience of using super unleaded fuel in a small turbo engine.

did it run smoother, accellerate smoother or go quicker ?... Read more

I don't know that engine in detail but it more than likely is equipped with a knock sensor that supplies data to the ecu which advances the ignition timing to the preset point that the sensor can sense knock and then retards the timing a tad on a dynamic basis that is always varying according to load and rpm. With 98 instead of 95 the timing can be advanced more before the sensor knock point, which results in a bit more power and better economy.

I was enjoying that run-down until I got to number 10 when my retinas got mangled. Is Aston's Q customisation service run by Halfords? Read more
