  1. If cranking, jumpstarting should eliminate battery. Start at the beginning and see if it sparks—is it gasoline related? moist or sooted plugs. Start with starting, then cut off while driving.
  2. Hi. Who here knows the current state of track day helmet regulations? Several track day organizers use the "Suitable" exception, and I've been thinking about trying to replace my old helmet with one that complies with the standards, but I'm not sure what requirements it has to follow. I had decided on BS6658 part A, but I've now learned that it's being phased out in December, and the most widely-used alternative, ECE 2205, doesn't apply to automobiles.
  3. As stated in the headline, I am having a dispute with the DVLA about an apparently untaxed car that I own. So here are the highlights: Car purchased at auction with no V5 since it was a financial repossession. I filled out the V62 form to apply for a V5. As per my trade policy, the car has been reported as being in my possession. While V5 is being delivered, use the vehicle with trade plates as a smoker. A few days after receiving the V5, I get a letter informing me that the car is untaxed and that I owe them a month's road fund licence. I replied by stating that the car has trade plates. get no response to the letter I have now got a letter from the DVLA indicating that I owe them £338 as an out-of-court settlement for an untaxed car. Given that I had replied to the first letter, it seems that they have used excessive force. I attempted to call them yesterday, but the whole choices list seemed to be tailored towards avoiding talking to people and implying that appeals are seldom successful. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
