Re: CCTV and law

Denzbom thats good to know and it’s not that recording beyond your property is illegal, it’s just that you have to comply with the DPA which most people do except the need to register. So it’s admission as evidence from a none compliant system would depend on the view of the cps. Furthermore just be...

Re: CCTV and law

The police are not always well informed of all the laws they don’t enforce as they are not the people who enforce the DPA. The current status of the Gov websites is terrible and it is possible your looking at out of date information. This is dated 2015 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dome...

Re: CCTV and law

I am afraid if you record on a public area data protection laws do apply https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/cctv/ What if my camera captures footage of individuals beyond the boundaries of my property? You must consider whether it is necessary for your camera to operate beyond the boundary of your pr...

Re: b6 worth avoiding?

Gaz Yeah I agree surveys are surprised to tell the truth but what I find interesting is that it has nearly a 90% rating but still bottom of the 150 list and the jd power says these are the top 150 cars.... which leaves me wondering about the survey JD power and the cars which did not make the 'top' ...

Re: Depreciation

I agree new cars can be a waste but 21 to 15k does not seem to bad new car loss it's the price you pay. I know the economics don't stack up new v old and that decision is personel preference. Just wondered if the current scandal has had an effect on used as some say, others say not really.

Depreciation

Hi I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the current levels of depreciation are the cars loosing more post scandal, or has there been no impact. If there has been an impact is the impact small or big

Re: Diesel emissions fix

Yes it is interesting but there is almost zero content on the test they did, was it the actual legally mandated test or was it on the road testing. The former would be a problem the later may not be as it may conform to the required standard under test but not on the road and if that is the case the...

Re: Emmisions

As far as I can see they have only tested the 1.6 Passat. As far I am concerned all manufactures are at it for mpg figures so they get the best result in the lab which affects emissions.

It may not be a 'defeat device' but it is a deliberate misrepresentation of the cars performance
