Service and free MOT deals.. worth it?
Our local kwikfit is advertising a free MOT when you spend £99 on a service. My mot isn't due until september but the service would be due at the same time and was considering doing this deal but part of me can't help but be cynical thinking there's a catch? Anyone know whether it's a good deal or not?

Oyster question
I have been using Oyster this week. I have noticed that it takes £4 at the start of the journey and then credits £2.5 at the end - so a single tube journey costs £1.50. Does this mean I always need at least £4 on my card even if I'm doing a £1.5 trip? I would guess it does but I can't find the answer anywhere.

Trying to find Tyre tread rules
The written rule is easy enough to fiind, but what about pictures of tyres that are legal and tyres that are not. A picture says a 1000 words. And if I had a digital camera I'd give you guys a picture. My spare wheel has the three central grooves easily at least 3mm deep and the TWI are there below the surface. But it's…
