Re: Numer plates

Pretty much yes. As far as im aware, the postcode of the company that made the plates has to be printed on the bottom. Other than that the only other thing that can be printed there is the company details. website, address etc. no more personal slogans or fancy style fonts.

Re: problem due to spitting dummy out!!!!!!!!

no it should really get the battery flat. saying that. mine has a power saving cut off. if i leave the ignition on for too long, the car shuts down all none essential stuff, like radio and dvd player ect. get your battery tested. most motor factors and garages will do it for free.
