Duster Laureate 4WD with some goodies. I pay £221 for the two of us, usual excess etc, with Aviva. We spend a lot of time on hols, so my mileage is a lot lower than it used to be. Now the question, I've stated my annual mlg to be app 10k, but having had the car now for 12 mths, the mlg is app 6k. SO I'm in a cleft stick. how do insurers view a low mileage driver. Do they consider I'm more of a risk because I'm not on the road as much as a usual 12k driver & so bang up the premium, or consider me a better risk for the same reason? PS Been driving for 50+ yrs, IAM member for both car & motorbike. Driven HGVs, buses, & army vehicles in that time as an engineer. Look forward to comments. Read more
I have recently taken delivery of a new C3 picasso exclusive, and when I open any door
the internal lights do not come on. Is this a fault or just a matter of adjustment. I have never come across this in any car I have ever had. There is no mention of this in the manual. Read more
On mine you can turn it on and off via switch on front roof courtesy light

Hi everyone... Needs some opinion about my car, please! A year ago, i had my injectors done( injector copper washer change and cleaned) as white smoke out from engine oil cap when open a bit, mechanic says, too much compression, so, work done(injector wahser), one of my injector was a bit rusty like and washer stuck and not working.. After changed all seem fine, smoke gone.. And no knocking at all... Now, after a year, i noticed smoke out again similar to what was before, and ive been top upping oil very often... Found some oil leaking somewhere in cramshaft(from top near cambelt dripping down side of engine..). Apart from oil leaking, i thought really the problem is the injectors again.. Took car to garage, carry out investigation, they said, Problem with excessive crank case pressure and theyre commend further investigation as suspected, possible turbo fault, broken piston ring or collapsed/blocked breather pipes...
Any good advice please, as dont have much budget with the car and cant afford to loose and cant afford to buy a new one,, car still in finance.. Thanks.. Read more

If you have had letter offering a SA Course and would like to take it up put the ball back in their court by explaining a previous course but cannot remember when. They should have a central record or maybe a DVLA entry on your Licence file. They shouod either accept or issue Conditional Offer (points permitting)

Just spent half-an-hour in my local PO with the new owner of my old car while he tried to tax it.
Went to the PO as the buyer could hand the cash over the counter and they checked it and credited my account immediately....
