Ahhhh, ok thanks. I suspected it was and as I might be using it in May thought I'd better ask.

I've done it at 4 times now, on flexiplus, without any issues, including with "super car"...all booked online and no issues when i got there
Could you be a gem and tell me how, cos they told me I can't get from Flexiplus lounge to the highbay lanes,or do just not go to the lounge,
Flexiplus is a rip off, I have never needed it and have allways got highbay, even on very tight margins. It's a marketing ploy that's all

What if you miss the booking though, do they let you on the next one anyway? I drive from Edinburgh so hard to be sure what time I'll arrive.

It's also a massive queue jumping tool. You can drive straight on, no matter how big a tail back. For the sake of around £100+, it seems well worth it to me, given I'm up to 15hrs on the road and don't need to add any hassle.

Edinburgh Footsoldier? ? I'll need to keep an eye out for you! There can on be a dozen MAX in Edinburgh and honestly can't say that I've seen a Nardo!

Well actually I would always turn it off every time I got in the car. I don't like the stupid start/stop functioning. I've got it in my head that it will kill the starter motor prematurely and most of the time I find it a pain in the ass when you need to pull out from a junction pretty sharpish and you've got to wait that split sec for it to restart.
Thanks Eddie you cracked it-frosted this morn-turned off the start stop,hey presto got out car still running,some of the threads on here are v helpful,not sure about Audifan though !!!

Audiifan sounds like a boy!! We're big men that know stuff, and the difference between men and boys are the cost of their toys.
