  1. not quite how it works Scott, the no modifications since 1988 is for MOT exemption, not tax exemption, but you declare it when taxing the vehicle you have to fill out a V112 next time (first time) the tax is due on the exemption system, the V112 is declaring the car is not only not substantially modified, but also that it is over 40 years old, admittedly they both come under reason (r) on the form, but without the filled in form, you don't get the road tax unless you have an MOT on the car, the post office I used for both my cars, said in both instances, they send the forms once a week to the DVLA, although ive heard that a lot of post offices are telling people they don't, but they even showed me the special sack they are sent in, but after that it should come up on the annual reminder you can continue driving the vehicle until that first tax is due if the MOT runs out, up till 20th May 2019, (12 months from its initiation) when everything should have caught up by then
  2. What did you see on the road today? TARMAC

  5. that's the one I was telling you about at the NEC Kellye, it was outside my unit, hes in south Benfleet,
  6. I now know that im looking for the number 1 as in the piccy below, if anyone has any for sale I would greatly appreciate it
  7. wicked, as long as I know the straight is correct then that's ok just seemed that they went to a lot of bother to get the others correct, that I found it hard to believe they didn't with the 1 or I
  8. ok, here's one for the old gits on here, its a question regarding classic number plates I'm in the middle of making a pair of number plates for my blue car, the ones on there are Tippers classic 70s style, as the car came with modern plastic junk, but the tippers repro plate is still far from how Hills or Bluemels done it so I've bought 2 Hills number plates, (random, they weren't off the same car), removed the letters etc, paint stripped them, they are having all the holes welded up at the moment, then once all the correct digits are sourced, I will send them to Tippers for their number plate restoration service, as they seem to be the only ones that can paint them in the correct reflective paint, and hey presto I have proper classic plates problem I have, I've sourced all the digits bar a matching pair of 2"s and 1s, the 1s being the bigger issue, i.e., harder to find, unless I'm barking up the wrong tree, so the question I have, did the number 1, look like a 1 or an l, bear in mind these are the 3D raised black letters approx. 3" high, I can find them that double up as 1 or I, i.e. look like l, but I cant find the 1 itself, which I find strange when they went to a lot of trouble to make all the other digits quite complicated by todays junk, so which is correct, and if its the 1, does anyone have a matching black pair to sell
  9. you didn't ought to be allowed a machine like that Sean, you should be made to give it to me
  10. we fell foul of that one Colin, Peugeot 207, 2 yrs 11 months old and the head gasket started leaking oil out of the corner, it was picked up on the first MOT, so off to the dealer as per the MOT stations advice, got told very rudely to go away as the car hadn't been serviced with genuine parts, basically, we were allowed to use any garage to do it, as that's the law, which we had, but the parts have to be genuine and all the correct part numbers on the invoice / service sheet, as well as the complete amount of parts as listed in the Peugeot service schedule hence, weve never bought another new car since, and still have that car ford might be different, but I would check

  14. fit the lucas and sell the corellos to Colin, he has deep pockets and corellos usually fetch big money, I sold some what I considered scrap fiesta ones, that were in the boot of a car I bought, on e bay a few years ago and nearly fell thru the floor at what they made
