I thought this law was already in place...or am i getting mixed up with something else.

I cant see why you should insure a car if its on your drive or in your garage...another way of fineing and making money for the goverment!!!

It is an apparent fact that Insurance (Public Liability) is only required for use on public highways...

Tractors and Plant machinery are exempt unless they have to travel over a specific distance on a public road.

You are not required to have Insurance if your vehicle is SORN.

However, if you forget to re-SORN (after 12mth) they will hit you with EIGHTY QUID like they robbed off me :angry:.

IMO Once you SORN your vehicle it should remain SORN until it is either Taxed or sold... RANT OVER :o

I have to agree, why do it more than once?

You're right Andy, sorry... I paid the 40 but it would've been 80 after 28 days... Legal Burglars is what they are :angry:

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.

      105C thermostat replacement

      As I understand the wiring diagrams and operation Item 9 on the thermostat housing is the sensor which sends its signal to the ECU for interpretation with information from the map sensor. Information from item 12 (1st drawing ) is also used to provide average temp across the cooling system. As far as I am aware the Thermostst is independent of the sensors and operated by expanding wax material internally
