I've recently purchased a secondhand car on finance and the car has been plagued with fault since I bought it.
I've owned the car for four weeks now and I've only had use of it for six days as the rest of the time it's been in dealers being repaired. The car is covered by the manufacturers warranty so it's being repaired by one of their dealers.

I've read somewhere in the past that I can contact the finance company with regards the car and there is a way of returning it as it's faulty. I've contacted the finance company and they've told me that they'd send some paperwork through for me to read and tat was it, they didn't offer any more assistance.
Is it worth calling the finance company and telling them that I'll cancel my Direct Debits until the problems are sorted or is this a no-no? Read more

Ever smile when you`re motoring? - to other people that is. Or do you go for what seems to have become the `standard British sour face?

I remember a grim Winter in 1987 and driving through slow moving traffic in Bradford city centre. People standing waiting for buses with faces that looked like they were on Death Row - and their milk had gone off.

I remember saying to Fiona as the 2cv crept past " for goodness sake don`t smile".

Smiling can get you into trouble, best not to walk throuigh a city centre with a smile on your face - look grim, it`s safer.

Back in 84, in Ipswich (of all places) a beaming smile straight at me from a young woman driving slowly past, in traffic.

Ever smiled when you hold your hand up to say `thanks` for letting you through. Sometimes a smile back, sometimes a face of utter sourness as the personality behind the lips thinks you have put one over on them by getting through.

I find it a struggle not to smile, but it can get you into trouble.
Stop smiling....
