Question about cancelling car tax after sale
We have just sold a car and so I went online and cancelled the car tax on the Gov website. After putting in all the details it confirmed that the tax was cancelled and also said to destroy the V5 and not to send it to the DVLA. Is this right or have I read it wrong? Just worried in case I was on one of the bogus websites…

Ambulance Chasers

What'spart availability like on a Nissan Juke Nismo?
I'm trying to convince a friend to get a Nismo Juke, to treat herself, but whilst I assume parts for the standard Jukes will be easy to get (being Nissan and platform sharing with Renault) I've no idea what the deal is with the Nismo additions. Obviously it'll be more expensive and harder to find, but by much? Is it…

Tyre pressure safe limits
My tyres should be at 31psi and the last time I checked them, around a week ago, one was at 29.5, the rest at 30 when tested cold. My as-yet-unanswered question is this: is 1.5psi under dangerous?

My car is having a service and mot today. It has passed the mot :j but they can't find the wheel nut.
