Quick question for you - hope you don't mind. We've been offered a 2002 Fiat Cinquecento for our 17-year-old daughter. The car has done 300 miles from new (really) and is owned by an 86 year old gentleman...
My uncle mentioned that you had an article on how to get cheaper coded car keys. I have just bought a 51 plate Golf GTI and have been quoted £96 for a new key. Can you tell me how/where to purchase a cheaper...

I have been living in Egypt for the past 6 months to try and make my state pension stretch as I couldn't afford to run my house in the UK. Sadly my health has plummeted and Myrtle the Pekingese dog is...
