Oh, and in case you're wonder why the swearfilter targets the word 'fontsize'

DD.

Slightly inaccurate recollection above.My son had a very apologetic phone call the day after his first premium was taken,THEN the termination letter,which would be rather harshly worded,he was told,and apologies for that.
To be fair,they were relatively quick with the refund--but not quick enough for me not to have to pay another large credit card deposit to set up alternative insutrance with Direct Line.Is it not true that if you pay by credit card for goods and agree a refund,the company involved can return your money direct to your card,rather than waste time by posting a cheque?
A poor show overall,and the little guy in the chainmail gets my toenail clippings right in the eye next time he ventures onto my TV

Make sure, if your car is reasonably new, that the repairs are fully covered and do not invalidate your manufacturer's body warranty. i.e. Citroen approved repairer if not the Citroen Franchise itself.

My car was 2 weeks old and it was bashed - 5 years later rust appears on the back door and the Honda warranty was not valid as it was done by "Ins Co Preferred Repairer".

3rd party Ins Co said - 5 years is beyond our 3 yr warranty - I said I should have been put back in position as if no accident had happened.

i.e. No Accident then rust would not have happened or Honda would have paid if it had.

Their insured was to blame and I faced a bill for rust due to their insured and their repairer.

In the end they paid for a respray of the back door as I said that I would get the job done and then claim on them in Small Claims Court.

As said above, the only thing that would shift UK buyers from diesels is another change in company car BIK tax .... that's what took me from my old Volvo V40 2.0T (which was a brilliant company car under the old list-price based tax rules) to a Passat B5.5 PD130.

Yes, the PD diesels are gruff and the effective rev range is relatively narrow. But the sheer get-up-and-go makes them very effective on the road, if you don't mind the clanking :-)

Also, you can't whack the VAG diesels on economy .... just done Alnwick (Northumberland) to Cheshire, 4 up and full boot, on-the-road average speed 61mph, and 51mpg.
