Aye could be Bill. But its been a pretty good car all the time I've had it, so i can't complain.

I look at this as being one of those things that has to be done during the life of the car.

just had to pay off the bailiffs at my daughters door. £588 in unpaid council tax. 3 times in 5 years. why doesn't she get the hint she needs to pay it. Or at least get me to pay before they add the court and admin fees.

Maybe you shouldn't pay it and let her deal with the consequences. a nice wee learning experience for her.
