A tough call
UFU= £2369 for 6 months = 4680 for 12 months
Admiral = 1333.00 for 12 months,
This to include for class 1 business usuage, & multiple adresses, plus overnight on-street parking in Belfast.
I thought that was not unreasonable in the circumstances. Read more
IN 1987......my step father worked for Sun Alliance (before they changed there name)

Evening all..... I pretty much know where this is going but will ask anyway. For the last 3 weeks my Mondeo has been locking itself whilst driving and not unlocking the boot with the rest of the doors.. Yesterday we cleaned it as we are thinking of selling it and when I went to put it away it would not start and just gave a rapid clicking.. After a couple of attempts it started but tonight when I got back and tried it it has the same clicking but will not start... Any ideas thet dont involve the words Starter and Motor would be greatly appreciated. The door locks are probably just coincidence but could this be a battery issue?? Read more
thankyou,, managed a jumpstart first time but now it is over revving... resetting the ecu? seems to be the advice online, so i will try that next if advisable?
HI, When I start the van the engine just cuts out unless I drive it right away. When I come to a stop the engine cuts out as well. While driving without stopping there are no problems and it drives perfect. The battery light comes on when I come to a stop. I take it this would be most likely a battery fault? Thanks Read more
The battery light would come on if the engine stops as its not being charged. I would suggest that you take it to a diesel specialist, they usually know what they are doing and are cheaper than a garage.
I like to reverse into my drive, which is downhill (in) and slightly curved at the end. It’s shared, so I like to park close to the edge, which is adjacent to a lawn. The drive and lawn are separated by a concrete edging, about 2 inches wide, and at virtually the same level.
The problem is that the reversing lights on my current car are quite high and I find it difficult to see the edge. How can I mark the edging to make it easy to see, given that I sometimes need to drive over it to park on the lawn.
Any neat and simple ideas, please? Read more
I missed this thread, as ChrisM above try an extra light or two and you'll be amazed.
My pick up came with one measly reversing light on the NS only and about as much use as a chocolate teapot....its twin that should have been the other side was the rear fog lamp on euro spec vehicles....
Hi All,
Long time reader, first time questioner!... Read more
Lee, I think you should search this forum for threads on this model - look particularly in Technical up to 1 year back - and you'll see a particular thread that had 100 posts.
There have been horrendous engine problems with the 2.0 diesel in the 6, and most people are saying 'steer clear'....
Hi
A friend of mine recently had her car seized by the police after they informed her that her licence had been revoked 2yrs ago due to her licence not being surrendered to have endorsements put on it.... Read more
Thanks people!
I've not parked my car off road as I'm not the only person insured to drive it. I've sent my driving licence with new address details filled in off to DVLA under advice from 'honest john' and will see what happens...fingers crossed!!...
Good evening
my lovely old Toyota has started to make a ticking noise when driving straight and accelerating hard, in 3/4/5th gears. The sound comes from around the passenger well, its not the cv's, possibly gearbox. I use the van for towing a caravan. Any suggestions or possible cures please. Shes old and has done 122K....

Just watch the fuel companies implementing their own budgetary increases.
And when I was in China last week, petrol was apparently 8p per litre. yup 80 yuan for 93 octane.That's what it said on the pumps anyway.
