How long and how far can you drive with one of those stupid space saver wheels, before it constitutes a danger to other motorists.
For the last two weeks a clearly liveried corporate Mondeo (a computer firm summat to do with baby oak tree seeds) has to my certain knowledge been driving around with a rear drivers wheel using the tiny space saver disk. Saw him again this morning... Read more
I have had to sell my car due to a family split, the ex has left me some debt and my credit rating has dropped through the floor so cannot get finance. However, I do have the above car to use, but I want to get rid of it for a sexier model. My old car was a Peugeot. I would love to part ex this car (fiat) for a new car with not too much mileage which is not very old. Am I looking for too much? Read more
"Think I am just scared...."
I know what you mean. Been there, done that... But remember, when you're under pressure (from being scared, or whatever) is not a good time to be making major decisions....
My Ford Grand C max (1.6 TDCI) is due its first service in November - it has done approx 9000 miles.
I phoned around 3 different Ford Garages (all in the North East) which all gave very different quotes:... Read more
Low SAPS oil can be bought pretty cheaply these days. Eurocarparts do an own brand one meeting C3 and the Ford spec for about £28 for 5 litres. Probably not the best stuff but it meets the spec. A lot of independents would use something like this.
I doubt the service is more than an oil or filter change, under an hour's labour for most.

Never had any problem with the OP's isurance company and I was with them for several years.
Perhaps if the OP had had 'logged on' the the insurance company's website WITH THEIR SECURE LOGON, then they may have been able to produce the documents they required?...

Under the above headline, the following report appeared in the Daily Mail on the 10th July 1936.

I have recently purchased this car and this ABS fault notice comes on when I start the car. and their is an illuminated symbol on the dash continually. I was informed that it was nothing serious but there is obviously some issue with the brakes although it drives and brakes perfectly. any suggestions as to what the possible cause/remedy is would be most apriciated....

Was this a private or trade sale? If the latter, take it back!
ABS light on is an instant MoT failure. Also potentially dangerous as the ABS will not function in the event of wheel lock up....
Rain water sloshing around inside the passenger door,any ideas how to drain it,and how to stop it.Thanks for your time.Whiskers Read more
Due to messy passengers who open the glass part way and flick 'things' out. Things which drop down between the glass and the rubber and then get wound down into the door, falling down to the bottom and blocking the drain holes. I've had it. Use a cocktail stick or tooth-pick to poke through the hole(s). I have to admit, I blocked my driver door drain hole the same way, so can't criticise.
