Misfuelling ? Are you kidding ? Not me, not a chance. That's for simpletons, I'm afraid I operate on a much higher plane altogether.
Always on the button, right on the money - at all times.
For heaven's sake the pumps are clearly marked - lets face it you'd have to be - you know, not the full shilling.
It beggars belief, dear oh dear oh dear. Hopeless and helpless I'd say - serves 'em right.
Let's be fair they shouldn't be on the road if they're capable of that, heaven help us.
Tell you what, I'd make it an endorsable offence - 3 points and no messing - stick that in your tank I say.
What's that you say ? Fifteen years ago? 10 day old Nissan ?
Hmmmm. What times the football on ?

Just something I was wondering - if a named driver crunches the policy holders car, is it the named driver, or the policyholder who makes the claim?
Im wondering if I declare it when I re-insure because on the website, it asks if I have made a claim, NOT whether ive had any accidents.
My car and my misses car are insured with same company and they said that I didnt have to declare it as technically, I hadnt made a claim and my misses would take the premium jump.
But I wasnt sure! Read more
.......... it asks
if I have made a claim NOT whether ive had any accidents.
If that's the question it asks, then you can but reply to that question. Why try to complicate matters? I'm sure (well, I hope anyway) that the insurer will have considered carefully the wording of the question.
Hi All,
I've an annoying problem with the off side indicator. Whenever I signal right the indicator light flashes rapidly! Not as per the normal flash mode. The near side works fine. I was wondering if anyone could pinpoint the cause of the problem and correction.
Also the interior courtesy light does not come on when doors open but operates on central locking, just wondering are the two problems linked?
Thanks,

Either a fractures filament so the vibration of driving is effecting it is a loose bulb in the holder. Check all bulbs physically. Regards Peter

>that is a lot of very sexy car for the money<
No, it's lot of very ugly car for the money - which is why it doesn't sell, even in its home country as far as I can see.
Now if it was a 406 V6 coupe...they are still all over the place in France and a pleasure to see, but 407 coupes are even scarcer than 407 station wagons.
well been in a crash today, long story i wont bore you with yet, caused by one agreesive idiot who drove off and sadly we didnt get his registration number
however in the course of events i had to do an emergency stop and the girl behind me went into the back of me
her insurance company have sent me a text saying i may not have to claim on my own policy and pay an excess if i ring them instead they ***may*** be able to get my car fixed and a hire car without me paying any excess
is this an admission of liability almost?
what would be the implications of ringing elephant and letting them fix my car ?
am i under risk if the repair is dodgy or similar?
am i better off just claiming on my own insurance and letting them sort it?
any experience of this? Read more
There are plenty of Credit Unions across the country that continue this tradition. I do some work for one locally (for nothing !) and they are an honourable crowd of decent hard-working people.
Hi,
Strange problem i have with missus car..car starts 1st time every turn whether hot or cold or been sitting for a few days, but when we fill the car with petrol it starts and then stalls everytime..after a few heavy revs or starting car 4-5 times it ticks over fine and runs and starts fine after that..
Not a major problem but an annoying wee one...
Thanks in advance... Read more

Here's a really odd one on my 51 reg Avensis. when I brake, more often than not, on releasing the brake there is a g-doing noise from the front end of the car. It sounds like a large spring being released. I've checked all the obvious stuff: broken coil spring, a good nosey over the brakes and can spot nothing out of place
Ideas anyone? Read more
are all 3 brake lights working? i had a similar problem and it was suggested on a different forum that a blown brake light bulb could be making the ABS rearm itself and is probably the noise you are experiencing

Sounds like some chav who has run into financial problems trying to sell property that dosn't belong to him. Seen a lot of cases like this on ebay lately. One that makes me laugh MOT has ran out but will pass easily - then just get it MOT'ed!
