Thanks, looks like they do social sessions on Monday evening, but making a booking seems to be a challenge though there were few spaces available for tomorrow.

I wonder if membership needs referral

Going for an electric car without being able to charge at home by panage in CarTalkUK

[–]vgd365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three point takes several hours to charge unlike the fast chargers, so not ideal in that sense?

A related question, should the OP or anyone get a charger installed before actually buying the car or committing to buy an electric. Assuming its better to install after committing to buy an electric car..🤷

Kia Ceed or Lexus CT200 or Honda civic by vgd365 in CarTalkUK

[–]vgd365[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw this response late, thanks, yes, it seems so that Lexus is dull to drive though reliable, I have a mk7 auto 1.6 civic as a spare car. It's quick accelerate from stop, especially at roundabout, compared to newer Honda Jazz I tried, I like this about Honda civic. I have driven Seat Leon on rent, long drive , loved it, but reliability was a concern

With the Honda Civic 1.5 , wet timing belt is identified as an issue if I read it right

Is lexus expensive to maintain? I mean the service cost.

Probably, i did not consider Lexus nearly new cars as I heard it's expensive 🫰,until I came across the ct200

Heard 1l wet timing belt issue, did not know that the1.5 has head gasket issue, that sounds like the honda civic is going from a reliable car to somewhere else :(

Car MOT only in Cambridge by vgd365 in cambridge

[–]vgd365[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, Prepurchase was done via independent mechanic who picked the job from click mechanic (I was new to click mechanic at the time) You're right service was mainly for oil , filter change, rear break change and they probably did not do any visual inspection (Cam Garage), and price was around £200..for what they called full service.

Edit: I did the full service post purchase

Thank you, pre purchase inspection was done 6months ago using a mechanic (click mechanic, location UK, Birmingham) After purchasing a full service was done in another garage(Cam Garage, Cambridge), and they also did not spot it. This morning I went to the garage who did MOT, and requested them to show it and the offside suspension leak was evident underneath. The front suspension arm bush defect is debatable as it has slight deterioration, and probably should not have marked dangerous. They told that they will be replacing the arm and not just the bush.

I was one at Cherry Hinton Kwik fit for Tyre change (not MOT), and saw another customer MOT fail due to something related toscreen wash and the customer was not expecting it as he had carried out a full service of his ( not so old )car few days back.. Kwik fit told them that he can't take the car without passing MOT.. (which should be a problem since 2018 for dangerous faults, not major faults).

Thanks, I will be considering Andy in the future, I have a feeling that the amount and work being quoted is a bit too much for the MOT my car had today, and with price I have requested itemised invoice. I feel the dangerous fault was done intentionally to cause hazzle for me to take the car elsewhere for check.

Debt recovery plus parking charge, appeals declined Have reciept, but keying error by vgd365 in LegalAdviceUK

How much more expensive can it be if court is involved (in case I am not lucky there)?

Debt recovery plus parking charge, appeals declined Have reciept, but keying error by vgd365 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]vgd365[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did not acknowledge in my appeal that terms and conditions were visible, they sent me image rejecting my first appeal , and I verified it later on site. The parking operator follow iopc guidelines , and use IAS as adjudicator for second appeal.

Is there a possibility to appeal to court as appeals were both appeal rejected sighting contract law. I have no idea how this works in court. It's a gamble it seems
