Don't send anything via recorded or signed for service to a PPC, if they refuse delivery, they have absolute proof of non-delivery. Use e-mail.

Correcting myself - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5546325/court-claim-procedure-updated-october-2016 does say to send DQ to other parties

"You must complete this by the date given, and send it back to Northampton, with a copy to the other side (or their solicitors if they've nominated one as the address for service). "

good thing i re-read that over a coffee

will it go down ok to state due to me starting a new job?

Yes. Perfectly reasonable, cross out two whole months, I would.

Put down your nearest court for the hearing. You could settle at any time, or even email P/Eye now with an offer (say £50) and see what they say, if you are that wobbly about seeing this through:

enforcement@parkingeye.co.uk

They will discuss a lower offer with you by email. Head the email:
'CLAIM XXXXXXXX - WITHOUT PREJUDICE SAVE AS TO COSTS'

DO NOT pay the full £175. Try to keep it two figures - and refuse their first offer.

Hi Coupon-mad/anyone else there,
Going to send that email to Parking Eye with an offer. Court hearing is on Tuesday 18th Feb 10am. 
Going to see if they will accept an offer
Is this email ok: 

email subject: CLAIM XXXXXXXX - WITHOUT PREJUDICE SAVE AS TO COSTS

body of email:
CLAIM XXXXXXXX - WITHOUT PREJUDICE SAVE AS TO COSTS

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please confirm if you would like to accept an offer of £25 to resolve this claim out of court. 

Yours Sincerely

Cheers,
Bob

Have you filed your Witness Statement and evidence with the court?
Have you send a copy of your Witness Statement and evidence to the Claimant?

here's what i said 
"Dear Sir/Madam,

Please confirm if ParkingEye are willing to accept an offer of £25 to resolve this claim out of court. " (with CLAIM XXXXXXXX - WITHOUT PREJUDICE SAVE AS TO COSTS in the email subject)
