We got up this morning to find a fixed penalty notice attached to our
car, which was correctly parked outside our house and it was issued at
4.15AM. It says "Offence code 400" Then handwritten "VRM - fail to
comply regs"
anyone any ideas what on earth it's for?

*THAT* would be a bit of a pisstake, though...

I'd think it was, none of my plates have manufacturer details and they
were made before the requirement to have such details surfaced.

I thin the conversation in the shop was "if you put your fucking
telephone number on those plates, you can bloody well pay me for the
advertising."

And?

No requirement in those to show the maker's name or telephone number.

This document:

http://www.dvla.gov.uk/media/pdf/leaflets/v796.pdf

Mentions that the British Standard requires manufacturers details to be
shown on the plate, but there's nothing in the other documents to say
that a plate fitted to a vehicle must meet the British Standard. Simply
a set of requirements for the font.

And note that plates fitted before 2001, as mine were, can be to a
different standard.

Normally it displays the manufacturers postcode.
This is in the act of parliament. I can't remember which one bt I read it a
couple of years ago.
The makers are listed by post code so if someone has made a dodgy one they
can be chased up easily by the police.

I think he is referring to the Citroens with hydropneumatic suspension.

Although nitrogen springs are still springs.

I would've thought that Golf R32s and BMW M3s have more to fear from
legislation against "Vehicle Not Fitted With Suitable And Sufficient Springs". ;-)

I'm sure he is.

I'm still intrigued to know what's unsuitable or insufficient...
