Hi all
I bought a car December 08 from a dealer - used but advertised as having a FSH. I've had the car serviced 3 times from the same dealer since, but when I recently took it to a registered Nissan garage to get a new key programmed, they noticed the warranty and service book were for a completely different car.
Obviously this means that my car is without a service history, which goes against what the dealer advised. Is it possible for a dealer to get a new service history book and transfer the details over? If not (this seems a bit fraudulent!), am I entitled to any sort of compensation from the dealer?
Thanks for your help :) Read more
During normal routine fluids top up I discovered this wrapped around the power steeing pump.

Consider yourself lucky. The debris sometimes forces itself into the cambelt cover & wrecks the cylinder head or worse.

Do check the fuel filter has been changed.
In cold mornings, my car starts OK but the engine sign stays on and it chokes along with smoke trailing behind for about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how cold it is. After that, when I turn off and start again, the engine sign will usually go off and the car will be fine for the rest of the day. If the sign is still on, I'll have to choke along a bit longer. Have done a diagnostic test in a local garage but nothing unable to locate anywhere faulty. A mechanic suspects the fuel pump but not sure. Please advise. Read more

Until I get the 7 seater, I've got a Passat 1.9 TDI Highline on an 09 plate. Cracking car, no bother and still waiting for its first service (18 months old, 16,000 miles)....
Having just got my two renewal notices I started to wonder how they calculate the premium before NCB. When I first took to the road over thirty years ago (two years on two wheels first) I used to go to the local broker. He had a number of "books" from the various insurance companies. After checking out the insurance group for the car he got the base premium from a matrix of group vs. age. There were a few exceptions such as no drivers under 25, or refer to company for some of the highest groups or if the person had points on their licence. However there seems to be nothing like that these days that you can refer to. If they feel they may lose the business some are willing to reduce the premium followed sometimes by a large jump the following year. This has all come to mind as the main car went up around around 30% as expected as it is five groups higher. However the second car virtually doubled and it is only group 3.... Read more
I have now renewed the main car with the original company as price comparisons all came out higher! The second car was over 50% cheaper with another broker (all done over the phone). With price comparison I got quotes both higher and lower than the original - makes no sense at all!
