Hi. I recently inherited a Volvo C70 convertible. I was reluctant to part with my reliable Carina, so I decided that I'd use the Volvo for six months of the year, then swap over. Adding the Volvo to my existing policy was cheap enough but, the renewal quote for both cars is well over £1,000, (Admiral). Perhaps it is expensive because of my age, (26, and have been driving for 6 years). However, I'd appreciate to know if there are any companies out there who do fairly priced multi-car insurance deals-some of you petrol heads out there must have more than one car! Thank you in advance, Alfie Read more

Hello there, I am looking for information about the requirements for storing engine oils in 1L and 4L containers (like castrol, mobile 1, shell etc). I would like to start an e-commerce business. I was refused self-storage, should it be a sea container? What are the legal requirements? I contacted various organizations and website, but no one answered my question.. please help!

You will probably need a self contained lock up unit, trade counter unit.
COSHH are the regs you need to be up to speed on. Each product manufacturer will have a safety data sheet to inform your own COSHH and risk assessments.

In the past I have bought several cars from Motorpoint. Doing business was simple - you paid the price on the screen, and got a price for any trade in you could decide to accept or not.
Prices were always very competitive so haggling seemed largely unnecessary....

A neighbour sometimes drives our car back from Heathrow and disconnects the battery, then a few weeks later reconnects it to drive back to the longstay pick-up area. Any thoughts on insurance, as the fee for just a couple of hours comprehensive cover on two different days has risen hugely. I wondered if anyone has experience of short term insurance either with their own companies or with separate short term suppliers? Read more
Thanks for the suggestions - I'll look into 'veygo'.
I was under my vehicle recently and noticed that the driver side half-shaft damper is perishing.
The car drives well, I don't notice anything untoward with it's behaviour (I believe a sign would be vibration?)... Read more
Drive shafts are not a specific testable item , but if the mot man thinks it’s likely to cause an issue , then it would be classed as advisory. Don’t think it’s the case with your car .
Any help please
