Any recommendations on a van or mpv for 5 adults and 3 dogs for weekends away (not to sleep in). Most luggage would go on a roof box.
I've done a little research. In terms of vans I can get 5 seaters and for a few hundred pounds install rear windows... Read more
Traffic police seem to chase 'pool' cars used by groups of criminals.
These are described as not only untaxed and uninsured, but also 'not registered to anyone'... Read more
AIuI, plod aren't interested as they regard car tax as a DVLA problem.
Odd that, because on the DVLA website it tells you specifically they cannot deal with VED reports and you must go through local Plod. I could report there that car was not MOTed though....
Anyone driven this? Not near to me and having rarely been to area not sure I ever have?
L Or if you’re determined to avoid the motorway, Woodhead Pass is getting (finally) an upgrade through the bottleneck at Tintwhistle.
Which will take you to the other bottlenecks in that area much quicker!
Plus, won't be finished for years.
Had to rent a car out through enterprise as a stop gap, unfortunately sustained some minor scuffs to the alloys. It doesnt seem hugely straightforward to touch up my self as I'll probably end up buying the incorrect paint and getting the right paint code doesn't seem massively straightforward. Torn between seeing if I can pay someone to come touch them up before it goes back or hoping they aren't bothered. Anyone had any similar experience with any minor issues returning a rental? Would attach photos if able Read more
Minor scuffs normally are ok, but I guess depends on the colour. Had it happen to a dark alloy on a rental and sanded/painted over it like an amateur.
Bit of sandpaper and some random £6 paint after googing from amazon did a reasonable job in about 20 minutes. Paint wasn't an exact match but it passes a glance and I doubt it would go anywhere beyond that....

I cannot see the possibility of any positive suggestions, but foresee more caustic comments, so making this thread read only.

Despite statement tyres are OK if the tyres aren't directional I'd start with swapping the front wheels around.
This was one of my favourite ever programmes, especially with Robert Llewellyn and Lisa Rogers doing the presenting. The chemistry between the two hosts, the comedic nature of the programme and (of course) the creations were just a fantastic combination.
I had actually been thinking just the other day that I wish they would show them again. Well low and behold, while idly scrolling through the channel listings this morning, I discovered that an episode was being shown on "Challenge" channel!. This was at about 9.25, so my first thought was to look for Challenge+1, alas there doesn't seem to be one. So I then scrolled through the Challenge listings, as most of these type of shows are repeated two or three times at least during the course of a week at various times, but no such luck. Went all the way to next Sunday and found that there are three episodes shown consecutively starting at 7am.... Read more
Great show, admittedly had to think for a minute what it was as I totally forgot about it. A good era of TV.
Locking this one, there's no need to have two threads running by the same person covering the same questions.
