Hi all,
I am about to launch a new vehicle data checking service (and not I'm not advertising in this post! but am taking banner advertising from Scott Woods at Haymarket before any mods delete this!) and I was hoping some of you could give me some feedback about the user experience / data given. You can access the website here https://www.icarcheck.net/index.php and I have allowed unlimited gold checks for today using voucher code 'evo123'
In return if you could post back any issues, bugs or downright wrong things, that would be great.
Many Thanks

If I'm being super-critical:
- When clicking 'Check' it would be nice to have the button animate to show a search is being conducted, rather than waiting for the browser.
- When registering, tabbing doesn't go to the expected fields.
- On the details page, when I rolled over 'Registration change' (which had the correct x in it) it didn't update the info section on the right.

What does origin mean? Country of manufacture or place the car was registered?
When you go to login/register it would be worth having it more clear as to which section is which. The inky way I knew was by the button at the end.
Interesting service, but, being honest, I wouldn't pay for it.

On the 'important' tab it has the last keeper change as 2005, whereas I bought the car in Oct 2010. It shows as Oct 2010 in the 'identification' tab.
In the 'basics' tab you've spelt axle 'axel'.
There'a a couple of typos at the top of the page - 'saftey and support center'.
Overall I like it, it seems to work really well. I wish you the best of luck.

Something minor - when registering (screen shows two login fields on left and three register fields on the right), when I put my email address in and press tab to enter my password it tabs across to the password field on the left hand side as if I was logging in. Does that make sense?

Did the one description check and it worked ok the first time - pressed back and tried again: now I can't enter registration marks, even if I refresh. I click on the entry field, and it just fills up with 'enter reg' immediately, with no possible way of typing anything
on Firefox4
That's a good bug to find thanks. Could you give me the exact version number of FF please?on Firefox4
The 'enter reg' doesn't work on my Firefox browser, but it does on IE.
My reg is often 'car cannot be found' when using insurance websites, which is odd. The iCarCheck has found it, but aside from the engine size there isn't a great deal of info (apparently my car has '0' gears...). There is nothing on body style, transmission or even model.
All I get is 'BMW'. 'Black' and '2494 cc'. Which is correct, but it's odd that basic info such as above is absent. As mentioned, insurance websites don't even find the car (any reasons for this?)

Other minor points:
When I clicked on the voucher bit (when selecting which check) I couldn't get it to press the link - you have to press the "Voucher" text rather than the box surrounding it which is why I couldn't get it to work straight away.
My drive type comes up as Drive Type 4X2 but when you rollover it doesnt explain this - it says it'll either be FWD, RWD or 4x4...might be confusing for some
Also my last keeper change is definitely wrong - I bought the car around September 2010 but it shows as a keeper change in Jan 2011...maybe because that's when I put my personal registration on?

ETA - Voucher bit seems to be working now but definitely didn't the firs time I tried it!
