bramz7 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I had that happen once, so changed bank details. I think another way to get around it is a different address or email but helpfully I was between houses. I think it happened to me because I cancelled one or two DDs before the change of keeper slip appeared, they HATE that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort1977 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 MOT pass for the ex- @Bobthebeard MX5 today. My joy was short lived though because I cant tax online as the system is not recognising my 11 digit number and i cant tax at the post office as I sent the logbook off to DVLA just before the current unpleasantness. Does ANPR cover Aberdeenshire? We may be about to find out... Jim Bell, paulplom and Bobthebeard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’ve even stopped sending cheques now! Unless you’re desperate for the £23 it’s best to let them take it and return it. barefoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I'm staring at the Corsa at the front garden. Every time I go to pick up the phone to the garage, something else comes up, usually the Mini. I'm starting to think that I'm never really going to get the chance to get it welded and back on the road like it deserves. Only the rusty strut tops are stopping it being driven. I have 2 mint complete tops to go on as well although I think the originals can be repaired. It's a willing wee bugger too, started right up after 5 months and ran fine. I've had a fair bit of interest in it over the years but mainly from folk that would do a red top conversion and then break it when they get bored after 3 months. I'd happily see it go to someone who would improve it sensibly, ie weld it and then just drive and enjoy but those types are rare. I guess I'll just fire it back in the garage once my shelves are built, but it deserves better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the DD system first started I used to cancel them, but don't bother anymore so I don't get a marker against me. Thing with that is you get loads of dormant ones in your list of direct debits, or I have anyway. Can make for interesting reading i.e. reminds you how many cars you've had/sold.

N19 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I got a V5 back a couple of weeks ago following the Capri tax class change. Only had it for a week before it was back off to them for an address change, see how long that takes. That'll be 4 V5s the car has had in the one year. Anyway, once they dealt with the V5 the cheque arrived a day or two later, so not too bad especially in the current circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasticvandan Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 My new beige Rover was chucked in for mot this morning and passed just two advisories for tyres,which I knew about.The emissions were apparently better than most new cars they get in.Gor a quote for doing the cambelt and pump,might have to wait a bit till I can save up for it mind Stevebrookman, BL Bloke, Tickman and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasticvandan Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Little bit of rust near a front suspension mount,but I think it's mostly cosmetic,should last a fair while before needing a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Great result with the Rover. I'm bidding on a 25 on a certain e of bay at the moment, I must be bloody mad though as it has no mot and doesn't currently start, oh and its in Worthing. There's still over 5 days to go on the auction though and I'm expecting to get outbid. plasticvandan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowt wrong with chocolate block connectors. It's the cluster of ring terminals apparently floating in mid-air I'd be more concerned about, even if it is an earth. That and the random cut wires.
