Hi my car is loosing coolant alot of it, probably over a litre every 20miles or so, with no smoke, no oil mixture, if it was losing that much coolant would the car normally run, it boost up properly with no smoke, i can do 70 , 80 mph with no issues or smoke.

Getting it presure tested tommorow, hopefully will pick something up Read more

Early morning doing the school / work run.

Waiting at a busy roundabout, the vehicle entering from the preceeding turning lit a nearside light as doing so. Something "clicked" upstairs and I started the process of pulling out. It passed the exit and kept coming, I stopped and looked again, wondering what had caused the "Ok to set off" reaction, expecting to see that the silly SOB had indicated.... Read more

Hello all
In September i had a very minor car incident on a country land in
Cornwall. Narrow road my car and another had a little squeeze and
there was a little damage to both vehicles.
2 insurance adjusters came out to see my car and view the damage....
that was over 4 weeks ago and i had heard nothing. I was working in
Dublin for that period and thus did not need my car. However on my
return i called the insurance company to see why i had had no contact
from them and why my car had not been taken away for the work to be
done.
I was told my insurance had been suspended because they discovered i
had modified the vehicle without telling them and therefore my
insurance is invalid! i have a Rav 4 which has tinted windows in the
rear... it came like this 2nd hand from a dealer. Apparently the
windows are not standard i didnt know that and that if i had informed them at the time
of insuring that i had tinted windows they would have not insured me.
I find this a bit ridiculous to say the least and am at a loss as to
what to do.
I genuinely did not mislead them and had no knowledge that this was in
fact a "modification"! I have had an insurance claim and bodywork
done on the same vehicle by a different insurer in the past and this
was never mentioned or an issue? Are they just trying to wriggle out
of the claim? Who should i talk to? Any advice much needed and
gratefully received!!
Many thanks Read more
