You might want to consider visiting your Member of Parliament. Part of their remit is to deal with HMRC on behalf of constituents. And they are very good at yanking HMRC's chain and making them behave more reasonably.

A very long payment plan (also known as TTP - Time To Pay) might be an...

When we first started going over 20 years ago, most of the restaurants in the resort were local type cuisine but they've all gone now. Next time we go we might see what the food's like away from the tourist areas....

After 13 years of ultra-low interest rates, it's not surprising that a few cracks appear in the system when rates jump 10-fold* in less than 12 months.

* In the US, the rate was 0.5% last May; now it's just shy of 5%.

And, watching Wheeler Dealers, invariably it's something trivial, like soldered joints gone bad, which kills the electronic black box. That's certainly the case with the ABS pump in my car; refurbishment typically just involves a bit of re-soldering in the control unit....

A new one is the best part of 2 grand, and that's without fitting. Reconditioned ones are around £200....

As an aside, one of the fault codes that came up was with the ABS pump. I got a quote from the local main dealer for replacing the pump and it was more than the car is worth.

Fortunately, I managed to find a reconditioned pump online and got the local garage to install it for a...

I have a car of a certain age, and like me (also of a certain age), it's starting to get a bit faulty.

I want to research the fault codes before I take it into the garage, so I have some confidence that they are not replacing parts willy nilly.

I recently drove to the airport...

Just been on holiday and visited four of the top rated (5*) restaurants in the resort. All pretty bad.

• #1 spot was an Indian, and this was the worst. Samosas and bhajis like nothing I've had before, and not in a good way. Prawns in a curry all mushy and tasteless. The only thing that was vaguely

If you are settling a year, then you can work out the underpayment as follows.

Add up all the loan payments you received in that year (L).
Note the total salary you received in that year (S).
Note the amount of PAYE tax you already paid (TP).

Enter your Gross Income...

Are you (a) settling or (b) paying the loan charge? This greatly affects the calculation of what you'll have to pay.

With some of the EVs, reviewed on 5th Gear Recharged, the screen looked almost as big as a laptop.

Personally, I'd prefer a no-frills driving car. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be an option these days. The ton of electronic gubbins is just more tulip to go wrong.
