Having spent my entire working life dealing with other people's money, I do not bank on line because of the increased vulnerability to fraud. I have not given the bank my email address, so I know that any email purporting to be from the bank must be fraudulent.
I did once receive a bogus email about an alleged missed VED payment. What the lowlife scammer did not know is that I pay for my VED annually in full. Read more
Isn't it strange how they can suddenly reduce prices! Read more
EXACTLY my thought... They were obviously pricing it to basically remove the effect of the Government Grant,,,, or another way of putting might be ... stealing from the government (i.e. the taxpayer, the car buyer) i.e. me and you...... maybe we buyers should think about that next time we go past a Citroen/Vauxhall dealer!!!
That's still much more money than I care to spend on a car; especially one that needs a flatbed truck to rescue it for even simple things like changing a wheel (you can't jack them up yourself). Read more

I’m just imagining a blissful driver of a massive coach sized RV in his lazy boy chair, cruise control on, TV somewhere near the windscreen just for the driver and air con set just so, massively powered v8 or v10 petrol or diesel engine humming away in the background as it lopes serenely through the Florida panhandle. Meanwhile, the little jeep strapped up behind is revving its nuts off probably showering the cars behind in debris, dont know why but that image just makes me LOL!

I have a Volvo V70 and for no apparent reason the front and arm rest cigarette lighter sockets have stopped working. There is a Dash Cam plugged in and a spare lead for the sat Nav when required. The Boot one works fine as it is a live feed all the time. This I know because the cool box stays on with the engine off.
So far have checked out all the fuses I can find on the car.... Read more
I know I am not the OP but this forum is b***** brilliant at times.

I recently traded in my car to a dealer. My car has a private plate but I was unable to do the retention online. The dealer subsequently applied for the retention via post and I paid them the fee.
I see now that the dealer has sold my old car ( currently reserved). Are they able to do this as surely the purchaser would have to wait till the retention is done and a new V5 is issued? Read more
Chatted to the DVLA online and apparently the reason I could not do the retention online was because “the car had been untaxed for more that 160 days in the last 5 years”.

Not using online banking is not an option for all (say if you have a Spanish or French account) but one thing you can do is purchase your own domain (as low as £25/yr) and then create banking specific email addresses that you use with each institution and *only* that institution.
