I ended up getting a parking ticket, because a parking app used this council (and many others council), logged me out. I had to retype the passed. The password would not work (even though it was the correct one). I was caught out on the road. Causing me high stress and frustration. By this time, I tried to do a password reset and walk to find another working parking machine, the traffic warden slapped me with a ticket by the time I got back.
The second machine was n't even working. The traffic warden admitted she knew the machine was out of order, but did n't even make allowance that people may have gone to look for another machine.... Read more
Keep Calm and Carry On.
The appeal process is relatively straightforward and success rate at the Tribunal, if you present your case properly and particularly if you attend in person, is very good indeed.
Any advice on the below would be greatly appreciated!
I want to get a new car and get rid of our old one, but the tax is due on 30th April and MOT in May. We can't have a gap with no car but equally don't want to spend money on the old car unnecessarily. ... Read more
You don't say how many miles it has done, which is important.

Secondly, anyone had any experiences with Sainsburys car insurance, just had the renewal notice from Cornmarket at its close on £750... Read more

Hey all, I'm hoping the fine folks here can help me with a dilemna I've been having finding a new car. I currently drive a Giulietta, but with a baby on this way, it's now a bit on the small side.
Ideally I'm looking for an automatic (bad knees), that has plenty of space and can handle reasonable long journeys a couple times a month - currently I do about 11k miles a year, which is a mix of commuting on a motorway a couple times a week, and visiting family a few hours away. We also semi-regularly drive to places in the UK and France, and so something that can handle carting around child paraphernalia and luggage would be ideal.... Read more
The fact that you are diving an Alfa suggests you like something a bit different.
With this in mind, a more left field option appeared in my first tentative Autotrader search, the Subaru Levorg?....
With the red light traffic cameras, how does it know if you have stopped before the stop line at a junction? I heard that they have induction loop systems but these aren't at the stop lines themselves but rather further on correct - so they can prove you definitely ran a red light?
When it says every part of vehicle has to stop before the stop line, I'm assuming that means the tyres not your front bummer too!? Because if it's the latter, how would they be able to detect that? Also with the camera set up for a standard red light camera (which I believe are the yellow Gatson ones), how can they detect you've stopped before the stop line anyway because from that angle there's no way of knowing....

I read somewhere red light cameras have 2 second delay. This is to ensure if front of the car crosses the line in amber and then light turns red before rear of the car passes line it will still be clear.
Some long lorries got caught by this, but cars should be fine....
Along with John F I have reopened my Nationwide Flex Plus Account to take advantage of the benefits but mostly the travel insurance.

Seems those are available. I thought it might be different to the US ones as their Corolla was not the same as the one sold in the UK.
New to me anyway. Usually I just use the brake pedal, not available in this case.

Visible surface droplets when flushing the syringe and reservoir with water tend to support the silicone hypothesis.
Id guess any damage is already done, though, and it wont be made any worse by flushing with DOT3

No. The specification is for a size and load/speed rating. Equal to or better and you're fine.
Different size, even if the rolling radius is the same, then it's a mod.
