| Have you checked the mega fuse? The starter is fed directly from the battery and there's a huge 500A fuse that lives behind a red plastic cover on the positive line coming off the battery inside the b ... |

| ULEZ isn't about CO2 emissions, it's about particulates and NOx which isn't part of the MOT so isn't listed on documents and why there's just a blanket tax on Euro 5 and before vehicles. The best I ca ... |

I did notice that but figured that they've switched it off while they're running? Important thing was the clean chassis, running gear and bodywork.
