Re: pressed reg plates?

Just goes to show the police aren't always right, they are only human and there will be stubborn cops who truely believe they are right. If you are sure you are right, then as you say, do your homework and don't back down.

Re: Plenum drains blocked - a helpfull guide.

Sorry if it's been asked already, but I'm really having trouble getting my battery out.

I can release it fine, but there isn't the room to remove it, I've tried unclipping the rubber hose that runs along the bulkhead but can't get that off, is there any other ways of getting it out????
