parked

Mother-in-law got a PCN in Windsor today from a CEO: code 86, "parked beyond the bay markings". She was parked in an arch beneath a railway bridge, which had two spaces marked out side-by-side. Due to the length and width of the car (it's a LHD LWB R Class) she had the wheels on the white...

Some silly sod has parked a big 4x4 in front of my driveway. Been there since friday night. At first I thought its just someone visiting a neighbour. But its not.... Police were in the area yesterday (not sure why) I asked them to check if it was stolen. They checked and said no. I asked how to...

This thread is my public and formal apology for parking in two bays at the gym last night. It is true, I - one of the advocates against "bay-hogging" - parked in two bays. While on the subject of apologies, I would also like to apologize to the 7-series driver whom I parked about a centimeter...

Hello I've just replaced the battery in my 2001 E320 CDI saloon with a new 95Ah. The recent cold spell killed the old one off after some 7 years use. I plan to park the car up for 6 weeks soon and my concern is about whether a fully charged battery will last that long and still start the car...

Would have been amusing, except he'd hit our Vito first. I heard the bang at 11:45 last night, looked out and saw the nose of his Honda wedged under the front of the Vito. He backed away (big lurch from the Vito as they came apart) and reversed towards their parking bay. By...

A girl I know who usually knows a thing about cars (shock horror :devil: ) told me off the other day for leaving my wheels turned while parked. She said that it put uneven loads and stresses on the steering components, and would cause premature wear. I had never thought of this before, but I...

Hi guys, My single windscreen wiper began moving very slowly yesterday and was struggling to make it across the screen. I followed the wiper thread and took the cover off and re-greased the thing. There was literally no grease on it so it defo needed it ! Anyway that fixed the movement...

On its way to a 'shout'. Question is, do you get annoyed or not?! Scenario: Vehicle (not mine) parked up on side of road, very narrow street which is a dead end. Cars parked both sides of road, no off-road parking to speak off. No parking restrictions. Mostly terraced and semi-detached...

What I think this forum needs is more threads about speed cameras! ;) As much a warning for members as something to talk about: Police speed camera van parked in a bus stop on the A4 monitoring traffic leaving Reading heading towards Twyford heading up the hill towards the roundabout with...

My mum parks her ford ka in a residential street close to the town centre at which she works and has never had a problem, in fact she is now friends with many of the residents there. yesterday however her car was hit when parked there by what looks like a low loader. the whole of the front...
