Is the ground level where you tried to jack it? I had a similar problem a few years back begged use of the neighbours drive which has a flattish bit going off the slope to jack up my car at the time. Used the car jack to get some heigh going then I was going to trolley under neath to secure it ....................... car jack moved due to not being level although tarmac and car weight shifted. Fortunately no damage.

Thanks Tony.

So if you buy a new tyre from a tyre shop how old would you expect it to be? A neighbour had to buy one this week for MOT failure and I've looked at it today and it was made in 2015 - so already 4 years old
-
Yes, but if it gets agreed then tyre change evry six years
-
So in the UK you will have to change your tyres every six years for the MOT?
-
Apparently 7 years !! No idea what ca it is www not helpful on that.

What the mugs or the coasters?

Who would know it's a replica

He did have a hat over the wig

Didn't you used to sell tyres

You need to get that camera replaced ASAP and preferably out of reach. Did it not record and store the vandalising? Have you got locking wheel nuts on the wheels?

Isn't it about £5k they each pay to climb the mountain?

Saw that pic the other day, I think it's now 11 people have died very recently presumably due to lack of oxygen for a prolonged period, exhaustion, food etc. etc due to queuing at the top like in the Sales.

Barrier goes sideways rather than up and down
Look at the pic you can see where it extends / contracts.

They wouldn't have lasted long with no brakes

Wow .... how long you got it for?

I watched this too.
To spell it out an HPI check will not show these cars although some may later get their details recorded. DVLA said there were 80,000 cars a year not having the details recorded by the insurance companies on the Motor Insurers Anti-Fraud and Theft Register (MIAFTR) database. The V5C will show it if the seller has it to show you and it has been updated since the accident. Note. a private seller doesn't have to declare a car has been written off.
With regards to the guarantee the quotes one example with the RAC HPI check who refused to payout as they said it was the buyers responsibility to check the V5C.
This needs to get escalated so more people are aware of the dangers of buying a car that not only may have been written off but also is probably worth far les that they are paying for it and may never be able to sell it at any price. Also, the government ( if they are the ones who can make it happen ) must make it mandatory for insurers to record these cars on the MIAFTR within a short period period of time i.e. maybe 7 days from when they are repaired, or 7 days of when they have been MOT'd after the repair ( I think even newish cars have to go through an MOT test after a write-off repair before they can go back on the road ).
Whatever is done and by who to rectify this situation the buyer must be indemnified.

I'd drop it in to WIM and get them to look at it and rectify. Could be valve, could be tyre seating against rim, could be a slow puncture you can't see the cause of.

Surely you could do it in a parking space at work?
