  1. And the fact that you put him on your insurance give's you a paper trail.
  2. Just to add that sometime I park in parent and child parking when my daughter is with me. She's 21. There's nothing on the signage with an age limitation.
  3. Interesting article, but will it really make any difference: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42849443 https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?484535-Rogue-parking-companies-face-government-crackdown
  4. Is there a picture showing your BB in the winscreen - normally viewable on the council website against the PCN number.
  5. As I read it, they didn't force entry as the door was open, although you were standing in the door way. They forced themselves past you. there is a difference as they probably thought they used reasonable force. I stand to be corrected though.
  6. So your claim is for £25 + £25 costs? Did i read it correctly?
  7. This is interesting reading and it relates to queing - to a point! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42511553
  8. As you have used your credit card, you have more protection. Keep your CC company in the loop.
  9. Just to throw my tuppence in, if you were in lane 2 and the officer drew along side you in lane 1, why were you in lane 2 with nothing in lane 1? Any more updates on this?
  10. Pity you can't tow it to the street, then inform DVLA of an untaxed vehicle. Job done.
  11. I had a similar issue where I forgot to display my blue badge. I was distracted whilst unloading my car and forgot to pop it in the windscreen. I made an informal plea to Cornwall Council and had to forward a copy of my blue badge to the council. They cancelled my PCN but warned me not to do it again.
  12. Original Garage asked us what we wanted to do. I said either £1500 to take into account the four months we had driven it or a replacement car to the same specification. We've given them until Friday to come back with a response. On a more serious note, it appears that the failed attempts to rectify it themselves have caused even more damaged. The ford dealer has said that the ABS warning light had been removed. Looks like a deliberate attempt to hide an ABS fault.
  13. Just had the Ford dealer on the phone. The ABS unit was disconnected and the power control unit couldn't be seen by the diagnostics. They've said the the power control unit is £1000+vat alone to replace let alone the cost of labour, so it's really un-economical to repair. The car cost us £1895 when we bought it on the 14th July. The ford dealers were very helpful and pointed us to the which.co.uk page regarding the six month limit. Now trying to get hold of the dealer to talk this over, but he's a bit of a pimpernel. Next steps??
  14. Interesting turn of events. The garage that I purchased the car from has come back to me saying they can't find where the fault is. It's now gone to the Ford dealer for them to have a look at at their cost. I will keep hold of the text message stating this.
  15. When I asked them how much the reply "We'll keep it a low as possible". At the end of the day, I just want my car back. I have mobility issues and need a vehicle to get around in. If they insist on charging us, I will pay it, but will follow it up with a small claims action.
  16. Bought a 56 plate fiesta diesel 14th July. 2016 First problem we had was the alternator failed. The dealer replaced it within a couple of days. Now we have a more serious problem where it appears that the ECU has failed. This was reported to them on the 18th November and they collected it on the 21st November. The car is still with them and were being fobbed off with excuses. I remember seeing something on CAG saying that any fault found within 6 months of purhcase is deemed to be there at the point of purchase and the dealer is responsible for the repairs. Is this still the case? When they come back with it finally repaired and they want to charge me, I will pay it to get the car back, but can I then start a small claims to reclaim the cost. We're also having to hire a car for the weekend. Boris
  17. Correct. The RK doesn't need a licence. Only the person driving it does, as well as having insurance. The car also has to have valid tax.
  18. Motorways names always start with a M - for Motorway
  19. Keep an eye on your bank account to see if any direct debits are created. Anything you are not sure of, cancel them. If they're legit ones, they can always be re-instated.
  20. It's very wet here at the moment. Stick a couple of oars on that car and you'd have a boat!
  21. In cornwall, we do things dreckly!
  22. Some of the before and after pictures had the shadows in the same place, and one had the same car with it's boot open in the background.
