My first post, and okay I admit it I have a Tiguan.
I traded in my less than useful mid-life crisis (according to gf) Jaguar XF in last year to replace it with something, well, more useful! Which ended up being a Tiguan.... Read more

Spot on thank you very much????
Our 5p per litre cut in fuel duty is paltry in comparison to other western EU countries according to the RAC. Indeed Germany's was 500% more at 25p per litre
Here's something for your 'research' (LOL)
I currently have an elderly Honda Jazz which I use for local trips and will be kept going until it eventually dies - or I do lol
I want a new used car for longer trips but am not sure whether to stick with petrol, as I've always done, or go for a diesel. My annual milage on longer trips will be about 5000 but they will all be long enough to regenerate a DPF. ... Read more
I had assumed 'older' meant 10-15 years! Just remember proper old stuff requires proper maintenance. At least you've got the Octavia for when it won't start in winter.
I don't see that age of car has much to do with starting in winter - more with age of battery, how much the car is used and how it is looked after. In fact if the car is old enough it will have few gizmos draining the battery between uses, so it may well start easily after a month's layoff.
Three types of 'abuse', in my view:
1. Non-blue badge holders stealing spaces because they are more convenient for the location. As long as the spaces are well signed, then such vehicles deserve to be towed and cost the owners a lot to get back.
2. Family members and 'carers' of genuinely disabled people using that person's blue badge (when the owner isn't present) to park as they please even though they aren't disabled and the real disabled person isn't present.
3. In my view, too many people get blue badges these days - I've seen 'disabled' retired people driving up in low-slung sports cars etc etc with a blue badge and walking around perfectly fine in the shop.
Rather like the 'mother and child' spaces, where 'child' should mean toddler and younger, not anyone with a child of any age or mum/dad only and no child but shopping for the family. Read more
The annual Baywatch survey conducted by Disabled Motoring UK (DMUK) addressing the abuse of disabled parking bays is a crucial initiative. The fact that two-fifths of councils do not record such misuse, as revealed by a previous freedom of information request splatoon 3, highlights a concerning issue. It raises questions about the effectiveness of local authorities in combating the abuse of the Blue Badge scheme and the need for improved enforcement measures.
