• VW Polo 1.4 - Where do I stand? 30 Jan 2015 (Forum)
  Seemingly in excellent condition. Approx £3.4K. We have the RAC Gold 3 Month Warranty. I've never bought or owned a car before. We've had the car for one month now and have encountered several problems: - The coil pack went on the motorway and we needed to have this replaced. Warranty covered 50% of repair but still cost us £157. - Noticed a ticking noise so took it to very reputable garage.
• Car insurance problem 3 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  I found a company who do 1 day policies but they won't cover modified cars. Also I have a trailer for the Williams and my parents car to tow with it but there insurer will only cover me for a few times a year so adding this car to my own policy when I need to tow the Williams would be handy.

• Getting short-term insurance quickly 17 May 2008 (Forum)
  However, I now find that it would be really useful to have the car this weekend, starting saturday midday, and I wondered what my options were for getting cover at short notice. It would probably suit me best just to have a few days coverage, if that is possible, because I won't need the car again for another month.

• Business Use and Insurance 28 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  As far as my insurance company is concerned is this business use or can I claim that I am using my car to simply travel to my place of work? My assumption is that since travelling to the local factory every morning is covered (I always ask if travelling to work is covered by the policy) then so is travelling to Scotland when I need to work in the Scottish factory.

• Audi secrecy. 28 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  I was behind a car transporter carrying Audi's today and on the top was a car that had its's features hidden. What amazed me was the way it was hidden, it was neatly covered in a white material which was tailored to fit, it had zips following the shape of the drivers door to gain access and was even tailored around the two exhaust pipes and mirrows enabling it to be driven a short distance.
