Hi

When ever i press the red button to start the meter off it ALLWAYs flashed stopped underneath. Has anybody got any idea as to why it would do that and its effects. It flashes 'hired' and 'stopped' simultaneously even when i am driving i dont think it did that before. I only started working about a week ago.

Clearly there is a problem which needs to be looked at by the local meter agent.

Shouldn't cost much to sort.

There's not enough Pulses going to the meter mate. Find your pulse wire for the meter and check it's not come lose. Failing that like Sussex says it needs a trip to your agent.

Other way round. Its only charging the flagfall and waiting time.

Contact your meter agent. Is it Andy from Hull?
