  1. Affirmative, they are permitted, but just for new registrations.
  2. Indeed, in the past, the paper disc was inscribed with the expiration year and month; however, we have not used paper discs for many years. The only motivation for their continued actions is to generate further revenue.
  3. That is the least of my concerns. The genuine deception is in the need to pay Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) from the first day of the month in which vehicle ownership commences, whereas refunds for VED are only issued from the first day of the month subsequent to disposal. There is no justification, given the prevalence of electronic transactions, to accept (and return) pro-rata amounts depending on the transaction date.
  4. My wife used Halifax for banking, and their application facilitates check deposits. If only the DVLA would not endorse their checks as "A/C Payee Only," I would have deposited it into her account!
  5. Should the Nationwide app let me, I would proceed accordingly.
  6. A little observation on the accelerated pace of operations at the DVLA lately. On Tuesday, September 30th, we exchanged our two vehicles at a Mercedes Main Dealer and acquired a replacement on the same day. Notification of the sale of both vehicles to the trade was conducted online at the dealership, along with the registration of the new vehicle in my name and the payment of Vehicle Excise Duty (VED). I was slightly astonished to get the replacement car's V5C (logbook) in our mailbox on the morning of Friday, October 3rd, and even more astonished to receive the confirmation of disposal and reimbursement of VED for both swapped vehicles on the morning of Monday, October 6th. Excellent work, DVLA! Now about the "predominantly" aspect. Why is it not possible to request that any Vehicle Excise Duty return be paid straight to the bank account from whence it was withdrawn by Direct Debit when reporting them online of the disposal, along with receiving confirmation of disposal via email? Individuals who want a check and a paper confirmation may still get both if desired; nevertheless, it would be far more convenient for those of us who prefer not to visit the bank to deposit a cheque.
  7. recommends that personnel use soapy water externally and utilize an air line from the inside
  8. The leaking windscreen is likely the cause.
  9. I just changed the primary battery. I am inquiring if the white font 4-digit number located on the center top surface of the battery represents the week and year of manufacture (e.g., 46 15), akin to the etched code on the battery connection of the main battery. I suspect that my auxiliary is the original battery.
  10. I will accomplish that! Thank you very much
  11. I apologize; I need to update my profile to reflect my 2015 E-Class Coupe. I will replace it and see the outcome. Thank you.
  12. Greetings to everyone, My vehicle was in the shop for two months, and upon its return, I saw a "auxiliary battery malfunction" notification on the dashboard, leading me to consider that it may need charging or replacement. I assessed the battery's condition, and the voltmeter indicated a healthy charge of 12.6V. Additionally, I connected it to the charger, which displayed a Full Charge status. I connect the automobile to a charger, and it has provided C073300, "Retrieve fault memory from control module."N10 (SAM Control Module) B1E211B The buffer battery is defective. The resistance limit has been surpassed. I have wire brushed the connections, nevertheless the same issue persists. Is the voltage measurement an inadequate indication of the battery's condition, or should I assess other components inside the vehicle? Thank you very much
  13. It is likely not the only instance that day in which Halfrauds provided the incorrect portion due to unreliable guidance.
  14. I would certainly maintain the whole main dealer service history, albeit I would be in the few. In my experience, maintenance at a big dealer is not much more costly than at a respectable independent, particularly when considering the value of recovery services.
