Is This Council Fine Worth Challenging?

So came home today to find this stuck to the windscreen of my charade. Its been parked out the front of my house for a couple weeks since I bought my corolla and theyre trying to tell me its been abandoned. I called them up trying to explain the situation and the rude woman wouldnt have a bar of it. I dont see how they can say parking a car outside youre own house for more than 48hrs can be called "abandoning" it. Now the car is unregistered and I realize its in offence to have an unregod car on the street (like the notice says) but Im unclear as to whether the fine is only attached to the abandonment part of the notice as it appears to be by the way its written. If so I think its worth challenging.

It dosen't look like a fine to me. Its giving you notice to move it. Its just stating that it is an offence to abandon a vehicle so if you haven't abandoned it I would just move the Dawoo (I mean Charade) They are obvious council workers. Cant read or write but can can serve a notice

Did you also get an expiation with that.

That Charade was a good little car pity no one wants it anymore :(

Its not a fine. Once they impound the car, you'd have to pay a holding fee, removal fees etc to retrieve it. That and they'd see it as abandoned if its not rego'd

They probably got the shits on cos they can polish the gutters LOL

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
