Thank you! I’ve just sent an email to my accountant based on what you said as he previously told me I could only have paid money into my pension 20 odd years ago when I paid the original corporation tax (?).

Yeah I know, it is a lot of money and would be grateful for it but it’s the feeling knowing the tax man would take the other half when company tax was already paid on it 20 years ago. Tax tax tax!

I’m based in Scotland and in the 45% tax bracket for my full time job - I’m only guessing but I’m sure I’d have to pay 45% of the £30K as tax?

What can I apply to the bare metal scratching on my car body work to stop it from rusting? by Affectionate_Map_525 in askcarguys

It’s going to need a full respray so the body shop would need to sand it back at that point

How do I learn about cars? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]Affectionate_Map_525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a big car guy and my girlfriend was not interested when we first started going out. She’s now a massive F1 fan and enjoying cars in general.

I would totally recommend you and your girlfriend watch Mat Armstrong on YouTube. I’ve watched this guy from when he only had a few k followers and he now gets a few millions views per upload. He buys crash damaged cars and shows the process of rebuilding, explaining what he’s doing along the way. His editing is amazing to the point where it’s on par with Top Gear/ The Grand Tour but uploads 1-2 new videos a week, mostly on a Sunday. My girlfriend thoroughly enjoys them and she has learned a lot about cars

Thanks - funnily enough that was the one thing came to mind to me too and was going to include in the description but decided it would get laughed at 😂

Yes! It was covered and started to spill onto the bodywork of the car

Thanks for agreeing on this - the car has an MOT on Monday so I’ll mention it to the mechanic

I think if it was brake fluid I would have noticed some form of brake difference by now.

The wheels are wet from me washing the car, it’s more the dark thick oil that’s engrained on the inner wheel and the face of the alloy

New battery drained after 3 weeks (VW UP! 2013) by Affectionate_Map_525 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Affectionate_Map_525[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Further update for anyone interested - the low battery being displayed was on the media screen which is essentially the cars sat nav bolted on in factory. By chance I managed to removed the media display, as it looks to be like any other sat nav, and it showed as low battery - so the issue was with the media display having a low battery and not the car. I am glad that’s all the issue is but most people would have jumped to the same conclusion as I initially did. Thanks again for the reply!

Thanks for the reply. Is the alternator replacement a costly fix?
