[waits for mods to "moderate" this as being non motoring related]
BUT WAIT!
I contacted Barclays to ask why oure had gone up and tell them I was thinking of changing account and they tell me that I get free Green Flag Recovery, Roadside repairs and home call with my account!
Well, as well as all the other benefits, I decided to keep my account for a little while longer, now that I am thinking of changing the Disco for an Alfa 156 JTD :)
Anyone who has this account has this cover. It is worth double checking with your bank home insurance etc to see what other perks you're not taking full advantag of, especially as I was thinking of taking out breakdown cover.
Just thought, after seeing Barney's thread, it was worth a mention.

No, it's motoring so it can stay.

I'm amazed you didn't have this already for the Disco...:-)
Whatever your reasons, it doesn't do the Alfa many favours...:-))

Isn't there a thread about VW's breaking down you can hang around? I dunno......
;o)

Well apart from the fact that I wouldn't be able to contribute anything to such a thread (three VWs in more than 12 years with 99 per cent reliability), I would respectfully suggest that you look at page 36 of the new Which? Car Reliability Guide; also the top of page 37...:-)

There you go, ND. That's told you.

The Lloyds TSB Select account includes AA breakdown cover.

As a Citroen owner this thread has no relevance to me!!

The Barclays Additions Green Flag cover only gets you roadside assitance. Worse still, you can't use it to get a discount on an upgrade to better cover.
As for your Citroen owner comment, I assume that because they're so unreliable, they offer their own recovery service???

Touche! (with an accent on the e - how do you do that?)

Start|programs|system tools|character map.
Choose the correct font, choose the character you require, copy it and paste in the message body.

Or simply press and hold down the Alt key and type 0233 into the numerick keyboard on the right and then release the Alt key again ;o)

Hold down "alt gr" and then press e.

That was true until a month or two ago. Now it's extended to inlcude home call and recovery. The cost of the account has gone up from £7.50 to £9.50 pm though.
Worse still, you can't use it to get a discount on an upgrade to better cover.
You can apparently, you can get a higher level of cover for an additional £3 pm or so I have been told by Barclays

Smile gives you Roadside (not sure about home) and travel insurance for £6 month + 3.25% interest !
