  • Parking Fine - This Can't Be Right? 19 Jun 2006 (Forum)
    I'm feeling a big sense of injustice about a recent parking ticket and wonder if anyone can tell me if I have a case for challenging it.

  • Mercedes Benz E class E220 DIESEL AUTO (2002) - Transmission 12 Aug 2017 (Forum)
    Same car, further development! ! When engine is cold, it revs fine and goes into gear forward or reverse, though I still have it parked because when the engine has been running for 10 to 15 mins and warmed up sufficiently, it still revs? Good power etc but only in Neutral or Park,  put it in drive or reverse and no power, it just idles, move it to neutral or park, revs fine, perplexed, any ideas greatly appreciated, Brian

Lovely colour picture of his car taken entering the car park, timed, and a black and white photo of him leaving. £95 fine or £75 if paid promptly, wonderful technology.

I assume that any fines stay with the previous owner but what happens in the interim while you are waiting for the new V5 to come through especially if the previous owner is a little relaxed about sending the V5 into DVLA?
