Hi, I have sold a car on motorway.co.uk to a dealer in Northern Ireland. They are sending a transporter over today and he’s making a few stops, collecting a few cars and getting to me this evening, which is fine.
I’m worried that the online DVLA notification isn’t available after 7pm. Obviosuly I’ll make sure payment is taken prior to them taking the car but should I give them them V5C and then notify online tomorrow morning or should I do it the old way and complete yellow section 4 and keep that and post it
off, rather than doing it online?
Thank you

Hey wonderful people, I'm hoping you can help me. There is nothing wrong per se but the car is making noises that I would love clarity on
Here is an audio clip that I have taken whilst sat in the drivers seat - it is this odd pumping kind of sound. You will have to turn your volume up quite a bit. ... Read more
Unfortunately, I drove it a bit this morning and it is still making the pumping sound. Oil filler cap comes off without too much work so appears to be fine
Hi all, thought I'd give you all a try to see if anyone has any suggestions please.
My '15 plate Fiesta Titanium seems (maybe) to have a temperature sensing fault on the Climate Control.... Read more
He’s “the man”.
I was at a traffic light and it was red, and I didn't notice at first but there was an ambulance behind me with lights flashing but no siren. Now initially I thought I should push forwards past the red light to give room as there was no other space for the ambulance to move forwards. Then I hesitated and thought no I can't do that as I might cause an accident wry cars coming across. I moved off when green, moved to the side to give the ambulance room and it turned on the siren and sped away.
It did make think what is the law here and the right thing to do? I found this here - www.londonambulance.nhs.uk/about-us/what-we-do/adv...e... Read more
If they wanted you to get out of the way they would have switched the sirens on. That they didn't was an indication you were not expected to move over the white line, which as you say, would have been an offence.
Different in Germany, by the way - here, you are expected to move forward enough to allow the emergency vehicle to enter the crossing.
I have a Vauxhall astra life 07 1.8 my electrics seem to be dying in the car . I have had trouble with battery not charging for a few weeks but now the windows won't open , the headlights on one side the headlight is on but not the side light on the other side vice versa . I have checked the alternator it's charging the battery correctly .
Could it be a bad battery ? .... Read more
If it starts ok and the battery is being charged by the alternator, then I would think the battery is ok . I would check for any water ingress in the engine bay fuse box and also the rear one ( if it has one fitted )
Curious to know what kind of CCTV camera or camera is this, on this street here, you'll see it on the lampost by the road going to the left.
It, or a previous one, has been there since at least 2008 (you can check the multiple times that the road has been photographed) and it’s been pointed in different directions.
I’d suggest it’s a camera for watching traffic flow.

What kind of crossing is this and do you have to stop if there is a pedestrian on the side closest to you, so if you are driving on the left and there's someone waiting to cross from the left? It's not a zebra crossing but if you look carefully there's a marked out small path across the island...? Read more
Never really thought about it before, but if these are to identify to the partially sighted that it's a place to cross the road, wouldn't it be a good idea to advertise the fact to drivers approaching?

On-line the next day is still quicker & more reliable than the post.
Remember to note down the V5c numbers before you hand over the V5C...
