With many people getting EVs the demand for petrol and diesel will presumably decrease. I don't know which way prices will go...any thoughts? Read more
Based upon the outlook for the UK - the global picture may differ.
Demand for fuel (petrol and diesel) fall gradually over 20 years - new ICE sales will continue until 2035, and those sold towards the end may be running a decade or more after that. ...
No mention of this on the coverage of the Budget;
Road tax rates (VED) are going up on 1 April 2024 for most cars.... Read more
<< ... they've proved so staggeringly incompetent over the past 14 years one won't be holding their breath. >>
I think you are being unjustly critical, GB. It's very easy for anyone to look incompetent in a situation they can do very little to change significantly. It follows that whoever gets elected will look incompetent, partly because they all promise many things which the electorate are daft enough to hope for....
Daughters Fiat 500 was stolen and her renewal is due in 2 weeks time, can she still shop around for a new policy at expiry or does she still have to use the same insurer?
It's unlikely to be recovered (even so she doesn't want it back after it being ragged around by 4 youths) but I understand there's a 30 day waiting time by which time it'll have elapsed.... Read more
So what is the point in protecting a NCB?
It would normally go down when you make a claim - by protecting it, it stays the same

You need to be concentrating on 2 vital parameters to get this engine started . Is there an engine speed sensor signal and what is your fuel pressure. The beep test is not going to fix this .

Hi
After a garage overhaul, is it illegal for the garage not to road test a customer's car?... Read more
I would think after all that work , the garage would have carried out a road test to make sure everything was in order. It’s not a legal requirement. Must be an old car .
If it is also a MOT centre they could test it on their rolling road ?
Hi all. Happy owner of a new (to me) 2004 MK1 Volvo convertible. Electric roof works fine at present. However, I've read many a story of expensive roof repairs on these cars. So far, with the roof down, I have sprayed the metal parts with silicon grease, and used a rubber care item on the exposed rubber strips. Any suggestions for other ways of keeping the roof working for years to come would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Alfie. Read more
I have a bmw e46 cabrio which is over 20 years old . It’s not used very often so I have a half protective cover which fits over the roof and windows. With this in place , I leave the windows open very slightly to maintain ventilation. Keep all the pivot points and mechanism lubricated . Only operate the roof when dry .
Apparently depicted Milton Keynes as a slum last night (4/3/24). I don't live there, but local radio's just devoted an hour to discussing it. A number of incensed residents.
I've never watched it, but will now because the story line's to be continued tonight - so it's increased viewing numbers! Read more
Are you saying it's misery watching Kat Slater and Sharon whatever her surname is this week?
I will say that Caffy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) is fairing well at 68. Must have something to do with A1 slip road activity. (Motoring link)....

perhaps the OP was expecting different answers. If I was spending nearly £100 k on a car , I’d want to make sure all the documents were in order .
