A friend has told me that her insurance has doubled from three years ago.
Mine, living two miles away, but without an immigrant population, has gone down.... Read more
Hi i have a ford fiesta 1998 encore when driving the steering wheel pulles left and there is a vibration that can be felt coming from the passenger front wheel area. The pulling to the left is felt more at low speed and appears to be timed to a full revolution of the front tyres, the vibration is felt more at speeds between 20 mph onwards . There is no pulling left or right or juddering under braking . I have changed tyres , discs and brakes, had a general look around at wishbones etc and all seemed intact and in resonable order. Any help/suggestions is appreciated...Thanks Read more

When you say you have changed the tyres did you fit new ones or swap them over because what you have sounds very much like a defective tyre. If you are certain that the tyre is OK the only other thing I can think of is the n/s driveshaft.

Get a code scan done on the central convenience system to see if there are any relevant fault codes and then also have the people doing the scan have a look at the last trigger source numbers and they can tell you what the last four things that set it off were.
I have just bought a 2002 Vito Traveliner with a high milage 110 CDI engine.
The engine starts fine and seems to run fine overall and the van goes well however when starting from cold the engine won't settle on idle and the rpm bounces up and down a little?
Any ideas?
New to the Vito so any advice welcome!
Cheers

I have a Fiat Punto Sporting (54) and a few things have started going wrong with it now that she is 9yrs old!
Firstly the horn has stopped working, then the wipers don't function properly and now the passenger seat lever.
It lifts and moves but nothing happens! I have tried to research how to fix it but I can't seem to find any info. Read more

Hi,
I have a 2010 model 308 confort. As you know, there is no fog light on the front bumper. I have found some good deals about fog lights but I am not sure if I can fit them there. I mean removing bumper is no problem but connection+fitting them in their place wise I have some doubts. Could you please enlighten me about this?
This is just an example picture of the bumper without fog light.

Assuming this problem does not affect the headlights, elekie&a/c doctor is spot on. This will be a failure of what is known as the X relay which is at position 7 on the relay plate behind the drivers storage box and has the number 100 printed on top and is now VW part number 4H0 951 253 but it will have a different VW part number on it. It is around £13 from VW dealers. Its position is number 7 which is the lower row, first on the left.
Hi I'm looking at buying a Volkswagen polo 1.4 s 52 plate with 54000 miles on the clock for around £2700. I have a couple of questions one my father heard a slight knocking in the engine, any ideas and when we looked at the service history there were two bills of electric work from a local garage one for about £730.00 including a new dash board a total of over £1000.00 in the last 18 months. I need advise, is this something I should stay well clear of ? I'm concerned that an electrical problem will never really go away. Read more
Thanks for your help.

>> Vx Zafira worth investigating.
Again, petrol versions. MPV reliability ratings recently out have petrol Zafiras as one of the more reliable models, while their diesel siblings lurk at the bottom of the heap....

Jamie, I was just being careful: your reference to gypsies could have been taken as offensive.
I don't see any criminal offence being committed in the above posts. However this thread has moved away from its raison d'etre of car insurance and I think it has run its course. So I'll close it. Enough said.
