  1. Anyone noticed how the price of fuel is creeping up weekly again
  2. Its a joke really you can sell a house for 150k you have to answer questionnaire, If its heating what kind when last serviced doesn't mean its going to work, hob yes never mention 2 rings don't work, built in f/f yes no mention that freezer doesn't work. No come back at all. Buy a car for £1000 find a problem and get full refund, seems like the card trade regs are excessive compared to other industries, bearing in mind the values
  3. Only time ive had issues with it is when it freezes and depending on where and what position fuel filter is it gets really thick in fuel filter, ie transit right underneath so gets the wind aswell as cold. We have got a polar vortex on the way lol
  4. Ahh well then I apologise, if you saw the fuel filter though I think you would agree with that statement Van had full Ford service less than 800 miles ago, obviously new filter then
  5. They state at pump its 7% so hows it total crap? Supermarkets seem to have a higher content than others, as it makes it cheaper
  6. Cant remember the exact percentage, but it was they use something like 7.2% filtered basically chip pan fat cant be good
  7. Its something to do with the amount of bio fuel that supermarkets put in diesel, had problem on 15 plate transit few weeks ago and when the weather was freezing, it clogs up the fuel filter and puts it in limp mode. Had to have heaters on the fuel filter, it helped a bit, put new filter on and was perfect again. Apparently around here Morrisions is renown for it, even AA lad I know said when its freezing over night they get a fair few call out for it
  8. You can accrual it but would have to release if after the warranty period has expired. Other things like heating repairs can be accrued for 6 years plus current year and only need to be released when the business ceases to trader from what I can gather, hence why I pay an accountant, they massively reduce tax bill legally of course
  9. Not sure on this would have to check but an accrual is a cost so it would also reduce vat bill, in theory each car is costing you x amount to but x amount to prep, repair etc. So the £50/£100 a car would be a cost They are accrued incase it happens. So you don't pay corporation tax on them till you take them out of being an accrual. I accrue for various things that ie heatings a bit dodgy and will need replacing or repairing so accrual £350 a month, run a van so accrue £75 a month for service, repairs. Its commom practice reduces monthly profit and when you do have to reapir heating you've saved enough to not worry about it. I accrue £650 a month for accountant and book keeping, so I know exactly my fixed costs monthly and never get bills that worry me
  10. So if you remove it from balance sheet, but have the unexpected bill in that month aswell there wont be issue with tax as you have the bill to put in accounts
  11. Yes if you move it from an accrual, the tax man will want his share but ive got accruals going on for 5 years or more and never had a problem if they are genuine accruals. I tend to sometime use some of it if for instance you get an unexpected big bill. Then it doesn't affect me really like it would if I didn't have accruals. Why give the tax man it if you don't have to, Just my thoughts currently sitting on about 50k of accruals, stock devaluation, slow moving stock, van repairs etc
  12. If you put it down as an accrual in your accounts it will also come off tax bill and you can build it up for years and tax Mam can’t get hands on it
  13. Just drop it at mine might aswell put it next to me collection lol
  14. I’m certainly not either lol guess it’s convenience, realistically I get probably 75% of e mails that are a waste of time but do get some nice deals of a few so always worth a reply to an e rent I guess
  15. Got to say when I bought me van I e mailed the dealer various questions before I went to view and buy as it was convenient to me. Sometimes you don’t have the time when your at work to make a phone call and e mail is easier.
  16. Cant do that with da they check the vat number out
  17. Big dealers are doing massive amounts of mobility cars and selling new subsidised cars, think I’d definately stay where you are
  18. Move them to where the cctv is So it’s bothing legal? It’s someones gone to the effort to check the car and buy a sticker? What a sad lonely life people lead
  19. Paint windows on house black always a winner
  20. Hi ive got some that are on land that’s looked after by the leaseholder and they have signs saying parking for flats only does that mean I’m ok? thanks
  21. Hmm not gated but says private parking for flats only? At a guess you may be to blame for me having a not so good sunday dinner at a local pub that looked busy
  22. Ive got some parked on what says private land, how can I confirm it is private land? Its basically a car park for a block of flats? Is this an offence
