To get a number plate you need a driving licence and logbook.
Number plate sales are notified to the DVLA
If a car if off the road (with SORN signed) then of course
you can still get a number plate for it.

I have a Clio 1500 DCI 2003. Recently the turbo has been failing to
kick in leaving the engine really dead. This happens intermittently. It
will kick in eventually if I can get it above 3000RPM. I can also clear
the problem if I switch off the engine but it can return at anytime

The lighter is not working, I thought maybe changing a fuse is a
solution, but the symbols for fuse box are confusing, what does it look
like? or anybody could tell me the code for that... thanks!

What is the approx hourly rate for labour in a small (tiny) garage?
This garage on the outskirts of London.

When booking in my car for a service the other day I was informed by the
dealer that the cambelt should be changed because it's now coming up to
four years old (Passat 2.0L petrol with 36K miles on the clock). I found
this a little surprising because I didn't expect it to need ...

Just had 2 new front tyres fitted yesterday morning. 2003 Mondeo TDCI on
16" alloys.
Fronts had done 25k, rears 36k (or so, just guessing, but been on 18
months @ 24k/year).

Someone I know is looking to run some equipment (a food warmer) while
mobile - it pulls around 700W at 240V, which I figure is in the 60A
vicinity when translated to 12V via an inverter, not including
efficiency losses.

I`ve got 2 CDR 500 radio`s for my M reg Astra, and have a question.  The one
that was fitted by a friend for me works perfectly.  The second one, which I
was testing before selling to a friend, will only display "CODE, "PANEL" and
the PIN number as you enter it, it won`t show any CD ...

further to my last post about a noisy Astra, I now have a dying Astra.
Nothing has been done to it for a few weeks apart from unplugging and
reconnecting the radio a few times, which was done today.  The radios being
swapped where the same make and model, nothing was done except ...

I was reading about Mazdas a few days ago and they used the Wankel type of
engine for a while.
I wonder, do they continue to do so?
Is the Wankel a lot different to work on from the standard reciprocating

I have a petrol volkswagon bora.  I was driving through fairly flooded
conditions.  In one place the water was high but not really bad.  I
went through the water and the car didn't die.
However later is the evening, the car started to slightly vibrate

I'm just buying one, which seems to be in great condition, but I don't have
a good mechanical knowledge. Is there anything to look out specific to this
model that I should pay particular attention to while it has a warranty? I'm
hoping that it will be largely trouble free for me ...

Skoda Octavia vRS 54 plate - 1.8T   Where is the oil filter?
I've marked what sure looked like the oil filter.
Standing in front of the car looking into the engine bay it was located in a
central position lower down on the front of the engine. A black cylinder

I know if you get brake fluid on brake shoes your supposed to bin
them? Is this the same for brake pads?

I own a Volvo V70 1998 model.  I'm about to upgrade the brake discs and pads
to EBC, as the oem replacements not much cheaper, and I have never really
been happy with their performance.
At the same time, I will replace both the brake hoses and fluid.
