I spoke to an elderly resident today who also receives parking tickets and she said she was paying £100 a month for a permit when this was first introduced 13 years but apparently the landowners changed 8 years ago and wouldnt offer her a new one - she said shes been parking here for 30 years!

She has an easement by prescription. So might you, if residents have been doing this for over 20 years (it doesn't have to be you, it includes previous owners of your flat).  Google it.

Thank you. I will look into this now

You say this in your OP

"Have tried to call the cark parks managing agents (seperate to the managers of block) who manage on behalf of the land owners but no answer via phone."

which would seem to indicate that the car park landowner may be different to the freeholder of your block. Is that the case?

I've only had a quick scan of this thread so sorry if I have missed anything. Who, actually, uses this car park?

Same landowner. Different managing agent as residents won 'right to manage' and appointed our own managing agents for the block, this was about 10 years ago

I am awaiting SAR from met parking but to be honest im losing sleep over this and i cant help feel that my case is similar to miss mackie as there are so many fines here.  
I cant find any posts on offering a settlement. How much should i offer per ticket? Can i offer the original fine amount at £50 per ticket or a lower amount? Who do i offer it to CST /MET or the landowners?

Thank in advance

Different laws in Scotland , or do you believe that devolution didn't happen ?

A better example for England and Wales would be Beavis or some other resident of the UK , who isn't in Scotland or Ulster , so like Elissa Corrigan or Laura Jopson

The Mackie case wasn't a residential case either , but was brought under Scottish laws to a resident of Scotland

Your case is nothing like a Scottish case where a non-resident admitted to parking and effectively trespassing.
