Wasn't it predictable that a simple question of whether TFL can differentiate between Congestion Zone & ULEZ would lead to yet another in-depth discussion on environmental issues ? Sorry guys, that wasn't my intention when posting (n)

Thanks Mottie, fortunately I'm far enough outside the zone to be unaffected (only had to pay the charge once since the ULEZ expanded) so I was only curious, but TFL's webpages are not helpful. But then the same can be said about much of the 'net, so many pages of out-dated info. :unsure:

Whilst not strictly 'cars general' I thought I'd run the following - Just out of curiosity I thought I'd browse the 'net to see what the London ULEZ charge might be in 2026. Interestingly TFL seems unable to differentiate between the ULEZ & congestion charges, the latter of which is apparently...

'Ah yes of course, silly me I should have twigged it straight away having worked in adult care! There was me thinking 'why would anyone sell a battery that's been disabled?' :unsure: No fun getting old.

Just like the Chevrolet 'bow-tie' on the crap that carries it today. Louis Chevrolet must be spinning in his grave :cry:

Disabled use ? Just curious.

The only problem with buying on-line is in the event of battery failure within the warranty period the supplier may well want it back for testing before sending the buyer a replacement. Given that the carriage costs are likely going to be down to you a large battery is going to be pricey due to...

As long as a politician's popularity ;)

Before getting too excited about battery warranties read the small print. In many cases the 'free replacement' period is often only 12 or maybe 24 months, after that the retailer will replace the item at a cost percentage based on the remaining warranty & of course the price of the replacement...

'Oops, looks like I've managed to post twice .. sorry all.

Thanks for that, I'll give a corner a tug & see.

A few years ago we had a fitted (bathroom) carpet laid over the top of existing vinyl floor covering (the design that emulates wooden floor boards) but now that carpet needs replacing. Is it likely that the fitter would have only glued the border down & if so is there a product that will remove...
