Car built in satnavs are very often about 12 months out of date with map updates. Despite a recent update my Hyundai satnav is still missing local estate roads that have existed more than 2 years!

Don't know about a flat spot but the 1.2 entry engine is fairly gutless. Either of the 1.0 turbos is a better bet, especially the 120bhp but I believe that's still only available in upper specs.

Surely best to have the MOT carried out by someone different from whoever does the service. That way you get two independent opinions and not one person checking their own work. Totally agree that advisories are joke - I've just seen a car passed with advisories on corroded brake pipes. I know the owner now considers it safe for 12 months. An MOT is meaningless the day after its carried out as the tester cannot know how the vehicle will be used or abused.

For those hoping to see them in Southend on Sea area the Echo newspaper website says a route change means they will no longer fly over the pier but over the airport and Westcliff. The Echo website, and newspaper, is not always very accurate in its reporting however. Plus the weather could effect routing I guess.

Are you using decent quality chains? Cheap chains, like off the bay, can stretch and slack off very quickly.

Whilst what the OP says may appear common sense it provides Packham and Co all the evidence they need that the General Licence has been abused. You can legally eat the pigeons shot for crop protection but not shoot pigeons for food and justify it by saying it helps protect crops.

If the screws can hold the flooring down after the head is snapped off how do you lift the flooring later when needed - like when you find you've put a screw through a water pipe.

Pity the OP didn't check the gun when he collected it . GMK have had their chance and failed. Should have refused it and asked for a refund or replacement.

If Ed's insurance company consider him liable for the repair bill why are we being constantly reminded of how much of our insurance premium covers uninsured driver claims? His mate was uninsured - that fact is not disputed.

A question for you Edd, If I leave a gun with an RFD to sell on commission do I have to go to the shop and sign the buyers cert when it's sold?

If a replacement battery solves the problem, there's your answer.

My barber refused to give a woman a haircut and received a letter from her solicitors threatening legal action. He went to his own solicitor for advice and was told to invite her back for a free hair cut but cut it so badly she won't want to return.

If the car was parked unattended I understand it is not considered an accident but an incident and does not have to be divulged for renewal. This was the advice given on a well known motoring website but make your own checks.

Buy whatever fits and you feel comfortable to use weight wise. If buying used a game gun will usually have been shot far less than a sporter so less worn. Good luck and enjoy your choice

Remember to allow for the cost of building insurance on the empty property. It's a lot higher than an occupied house.

For years we gave cheques out with our bank details for all to see. Why didn't we get scammed then?
