Now spring is here, I started my vespa up this morning, and discovered the battery is flat. I also decided to check the MOT cert, and found out it expires tomorrow...


There are a million garages in the area and a million scooters. Does anyone know anywhere within rolling distance of Lordship Lane that can a)charge my battery and b) sort out my MOT.


Thanks

Shaggy - the one in Peckham Tom mentions is Honda Riders 02 7732 44 66. I would recommend them too. I have wheeled my scooter there from Crystal Palace Road (hard work but just about do-able!). I have also arranged for them to get someone to pick it up from my house and delvier it to them (I think their mate charged ?20).

I had problems with my Vespa battery - I suggest you just get them to fit a new one.

Dell Autos (Hansler Road I think) also helped me out once as they have a portable battery charger/tester, when I rocked up and gave them a sob story (I think I bunged John a tenner for his time). Good luck.

    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
