  Rust on Hyundai ix20 - what should I be prepared to put up with? 21 Oct 2015 (Ask HJ)

• 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.

• VED and insured names 29 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  this from the DVLA: "The insurance must be valid when the licence comes into force and indicate that it covers the use of the vehicle by the licence applicant. If the cover is unclear you may be asked to provide written confirmation." If a married couple have a car registered in the wifes name and the policy is in the husbands name as main driver (because he has the NCB and wife has none) and wife is a named driver on the policy......everything will be ok, yes?
• Sludge 24 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  My wife's 1.6 8 valve, '97, 55,000 mile Astra is carrying quite alot of cream sludge, in the rocker cover and also on the dipstick which suggests pretty well covered in the crankcase. With just the pottering type mileage she does it is to be expected - but should I be concerned about it? Is there an easy way to get rid of it, such as me using the car for my long journey runs or should I use an engine flush or......
• 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.
