My insurer has increased the renewal premium by 280%, I made one claim in the previous year. I have maximum protected NCD. I questioned the increase and asked for proof that the full discount has been applied. The insurer will not disclose this, saying that it is sensitive business information. Since I have paid an additional amount for the so called protected discount, do I not have the right to see that it has been provided?
If not, it seems to me that the policy extra is being mis-sold and has no benefit to the customer whatsoever.... Read more
Good afternoon to all forum members. My name is Eugene. My daughter and I, 11 years old, fled from Ukraine to England, a missile hit our house, we had to leave. We lived in Kharkov. I worked as a director of a car dealership. The car dealership is not working now. We rent an apartment. I am not hired, because I can not legally leave my daughter alone at home, she is not 13 years old, and employers need people who will work until 7 pm. It's very hard for me and my daughter now, we lack finances. I found a job in delivery, but need a car to work. I wanted to ask all the participants if anyone can help me and my daughter. We need a car, maybe someone has an extra one or doesn't drive one. We need a car for a while, until I buy my own. Or who can suggest who to contact, websites, groups. My daughter and I would appreciate it. I am out of work right now, and our money situation is difficult. Please, everyone, don't be indifferent. I don't care about myself, I just want my daughter to be well. Maybe someone knows some charitable organizations that can help. I hope for your help. Have a good day, everyone. Thank you Read more
The circumstances by which the OP is in the UK are irrelevant. He has asked for help in sourcing a car and some advice given. That being the case I see nothing further of value to the thread so locking it.

Hi, I'm guessing this has been asked a few times from what I hear about this engine. I would like to replace the engine as it is damaged almost beyond repair and I wondered if anyone had any dealings with companies that replace engines preferably in the south coast as I'm on the Isle of Wight. I am being quoted a hell of a lot of money here and im getting much much cheaper quotes online but wanted a tried and trusted company if anyone knows of one that might be able to help me. Read more
How much is an exchange engine from Mini ?
No - not my day to day clothing. Yet again a very old topic has reappeared. Is there no software facility to automatically convert a , say, two yr old thread to 'read only'? Or do HJers enjoy such resurrections? Read more
Sorry. Slept in this morning , so it escaped the net for a short while!!!

They are probably just trying to discourage you from giving an unfavourable (online) review. If you are happy with the refund then, unless there are particular reasons that mean you don’t want to be silenced, then just sign.

If you aren't a member of Club Peugeot UK you could look at their website and perhaps join up and consult their 504 expert ?

Looking for general advice,I have a 61 plate Toyota Yaris in very good condition she has only done 41,000 miles. She is very reliable,in the two years that I have had her I have replaced all the tyres as they were quite worn when I got her,the original battery went and her brakes need some work soon.
I love her! however she is almost 12 years old and I have a toddler now,and a medium sized dog. I am worried that she is getting older,everything inside the car is very cramped even without a dog or baby a big load of shopping and my work stuff fills the car.... Read more
Hondas with magic seats offer a lot of flexibility. A Jazz is in the same general size class as the Yaris but the magic seats give more useable space. With one part of the rear seat occupied by a child you can flip up the other seat base to provide a beagle sized space in the footwell. The door sill is also much lower than the boot if the dog finds getting into the boot a struggle.
Older Civics (not the last two models) offer the same magic seat facility in a bigger car. ...
Hi all. My car is a 69 plate Acenta diesel 13800 miles. I bought it two weeks ago and am having some issues the last couple of days.
Driving to work today the auto start stop disabled warning came on. Stopped for petrol 20 mins later and when I turned the ignition off the whole car went dead, all info panels etc. Filled up and when I went to start it everything was dead, not turning over at all and no info panels. Couple of turns and a bit of swearing and it came back on again. Drove for a couple of mins and parked up for work.
Yesterday my front lights were flickering I noticed driving into work for a bit.
Could it be connected and my battery? Car was bought from a Nissan dealer so it should have been checked when I bought it.
The other thing is the milage I'm getting. Just done one full tank on a diesel engine and barely sc***ped 390 miles. My Clio with the same engine was on 520 miles. It's saying 58 miles per gallon on my Micra panel for the 390 miles but that would be around 510 miles which I didn't get anywhere near. Read more

"protected" no claims bonus is just that. Nothing to say they can't increase the premium!
