I have been reading that and I was about to fill in the AoS but then I saw I should wait for the 5 days since it was served so that would be tomorrow? Am I reading that right? Or shall I just submit it now?

Ideally between 5 and 19 days after the issue date, so yes, tomorrow or Friday
( its 5 days after the issue date not the served date. )

Thankyou again all!
This is what I've written for section 3 of the defence template, does this sound ok?
"3. The Defendant paid for a parking ticket for the allocated time spent in the car park and this was displayed on the dashboard. The parking machine did not register the full registration being keyed in and the screen was broken therefore the Defendant could not see that the full registration hadn’t been entered. The Defendant displayed the ticket believing they had a valid permit to park. "

Yes that's good as long as you've obviously added 'and driver' to the end of para 2.
