• Car warranty 4 May 2018 (Forum)
  Hi I took a car warranty out in February this year on my car unfortunately my car broke down on the 23 rd of March so I call the warranty company up to tell them what had happened ( MotorEasy) anyway time passed telephone calls after telephone call finally they send a engineer Out to the car to look at it the garage where the is had explained what the issue was ( Timing chain had snapped) told Motor easy the cost £2200 due to the work taking the engine out but they would not accept this any got told yesterday that the warranty does not cover this as it was a ongoing issue with the car .so any faults that come up with the warranty could not be covered as any car has potentially has ongoing issues so is is not worth the paper it is wrote on .i have learnt a very expensive lesson hear BE WARNED DO NOT take a warranty out with MOTOR EASY
• BMW 320i - AA Warranty - bad experience 24 May 2013 (Forum)
  Response from AA has been abysmal, they won't cover the costs - despite these components all being part of the overall systems their "guarantee" claims to cover, and also will only pay £48/hour for labour (which started off at £39.60 until I complained).

  I obviously cannot register the car in the UK and UK insurance companies that I have called won't insure a Maltese-registered car. Can anyone help? Gozoal
• Hyundai Getz 14 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  Has any one tried a Hyundai Getz ? The base model car gets a good review in what car, and it now comes with 5 year warranty, 3 years three servicing and 3 years RAC cover, all for £6995, before haggle. Guess you could get a few hundred £'s off that.
• Used car warranty 4 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  I have a fiesta which I bought from a dealer who is of reasonable size but independant. I am not sure if i got a 1 month or 3 month warranty! I have had the car just over 1 month and found out today from Ford main dealer that i need a new ABS sensor (Well done and thanks JamesH, HJ technical, 7/1/2003). The problem as only just recently occurred. Should this be covered by a warranty?

  So, took the boss down to the Dealer this morning and showed her the cars. Was offered a pre-reg (pre reg late sept 2021)  Ventura Manual in white, 6 speed, has front and rear parking sensors and reversing camera plus all the bells and whistles.

• Peugeot 308 - Road traffic accident involving damage to roadsign 15 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  Hi, I've recently been involved in a road traffic collision with another vehicle which also involved damage to a roadsign. The insurance cover for the traffic collision is fine but i've just received a letter from the local council telling me that I have to pay for the damage to their roadsign. Am I covered under my car insurance for these damage payments or will I have to pay for the damaged roadsign out of my own pocket?
• Mercedes E320 Coupe - Insurance companies that will accpt snow tyres 16 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  Direct Dial have refused to cover me when I have snow tyres on the car. They state that they should only be fitted when it snows!! How crazy is that?! Can anyone advise me of a sensible insurance company that will cover me in such circumstances?
• Volvo V70 SE 2002 - Air Conditioning Problem 24 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  The dealer says that it may need to be 're-gassed' and I have booked it in for two days. Do these systems usually give problems? I have only owned the car for a few weeks and have yet to cover a 1000 miles. I hope that the Volvo warranty will cover whatever the problem may be. Does anyone have some thoughts on this or past experience please? Thanks ChiMan
• Mazda MX5 (1998-2005) - 99 1.8S Replacing rear brake discs and pads 3 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  I'm thinking about replacing the above myself to save garage costs. I'd be happier working with the aid of a Workshop/Service manual but can't find one to cover this year of car. Has anyone carried out this work and on a scale of 1 to 10 how difficult is it? Also, does the 'Mazda MX-5/Miata 1.8: Enthusiast's Workshop Manual (up to 1998)' cover this work on this model/year?
• Insurance Query 18 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  Recently both she and other colleagues at the store at which they work have been regularly asked to travel to other stores at distances up to 100 miles from home. The company is paying a small mileage rate to cover petrol but have implied that the journey can be done on normal "social domestic and pleasure" insurance. My employer insists on any employee doing a similar journey in a private car holding business insurance cover.
