Can`t find location

Booked a flight from Birmingham airport booked airport car parking. Thought no problem as I have a post code and a street address for car park. I have downloaded Tims postcodes POI input the Post code B461AL but POI said it couldn`t find. So went back to address and put in Faraday Avenue however TTG could only find this address at postcode B321 which is the wrong location. However I search by putting in Coleshill then Coleshill again to give me a route close to the location. I followed this using the map facility and found that Faraday Avenue can be found on the map. Why when it knows where Faraday is on the map can it no locate it by name? Obviously there may be many places with several streets with the same name but surely if TTG has it mapped it should be able to locate it in its own search program?

Using Tim's Post Codes I found B46 1AL!!

Did you use a space between the 6 and 1?

TTG seems to get it's address mixed at times - it shows Faraday Ave as B32 1 and B46 1!!

What a plonker I am !!! You are right Richard I didn`t leave a space between the first B46 and 1. Having just checked again TTG and Tim have come up trumps. Thanks a lot I am off to sit in the corner.
