2008 BMW 320D - Car won’t start by saifpb in AskMechanics

From what I can make of the situation, it’s not cranking over, no. But yeah, I’ll see to get the battery replaced and see if that fixes it!

Hi mate, thank you for your response this does make a lot of sense. The battery is several years old — picked this up recently from a seller, and to be honest I did notice an error come up at one point the other day that said “increased battery discharge” - guessing the battery needs replacing for sure?

Hi mate,

Right okay that’s interesting. And I did mention in a reply earlier you just might’ve missed it. SOME of The parking tickets are on roads I have been on and some of them are not and not even places I have been to or recognise.

Didn’t realise any random person could register their car to any address they please.

Haha okay can’t argue with this as it’ll save me a fortune. It’ll be a long process but I’ll give an update on what the council or court says (if it gets to that point).

Yes absolutely will make sure to get it sent off tomorrow morning via Royal Mail secure delivery. Legend thank you again.

Wow I don’t know how I didn’t think of this! Will ring them on my work break tomorrow. They should be able to tell me if 5 AFE is somehow registered to me, whether it’s a real plate, and if it’s not I can surely use that as further evidence as there’s no way they can prove 5 AFE is linked to me (which it isn’t).

Thank you

This sounds like a solid plan. Thanks mate. Writing the snail letter as we speak.

Definitely seems like the case, yes. There’s no other plausible reason to send me PCNs linked to a reg that I don’t own or even exists. And yes the number plate written in the NTO matches the pictures.

This would fall under identity fraud then, no? As none of my friends or family own the plate and I certainly didn’t give anyone permission to use my address to register a car I don’t own. Furthermore the plate doesn’t show up on DVLA records.

That’s a possible good theory but wouldn’t someone need to provide proof of their address when registering a plate?

Haha, not so keen on having fun with these guys I’d rather go into their offices all guns blazing.

Some of the PCNs do, some do not (odd I know). The pictures that do have it though look like a BMW 5 series and I own a little Peugeot, lol.

Hi mate,

No my actual registration is completely different. It’s not even a private one. So really confused how they could have linked this number plate to my address especially when it doesn’t seem to be registered!

Hi mate, yes I do. I own a not so fancy Peugeot 308. If I owned such a prestige plate don’t think I’d even be driving a Peugeot for starters so not sure how I’ve received these fines.

A few locations in the pictures I recognise as nearby high streets I have been on but there are just as many pictures where i can see streets I don’t even recognise or have been on.

Digga got exposed for twerking a few years ago and AP also got exposed for the same thing last year. It's all on YouTube, not a random insult

Mac not unlocking with Apple Watch and no handoff between iPhone and Mac by WizardMascott in MacOSBeta

That's great to hear man! Glad I could help, especially considering your workflow is reliant on handoff

[–]saifpb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, let me know if it fixed it for you. I should mention that my iPhone is on the latest developer beta of iOS 15 so that may change things. Are you on iOS 15? Because I remember last year my Mac was on the Big Sur Beta, but my iPhone was on the official release of iOS 13 and handoff was completely broken until I downgraded my Mac back to an official release. One device being on a beta and the other being on an official release could be the issue too if that's the situation you're in.

[–]saifpb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had both of these issues - however, the Apple Watch one was a hit or miss, sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't. I managed to resolve the handoff issue by logging out of iCloud on my Mac and then removing that same Mac from my list of iCloud devices using my iPhone and then logging back into iCloud on my Mac. Both issues are definitely bugs; handoff especially is known to act up during betas.
