• Insurance to drive an import home 7 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  My next Audi is ready for collection in Germany, but unlike just six months ago, my insurers (Eagle Star) have said that they cannot cover me on the VIN number until the car reaches the UK. As soon as it's registered, it can obviously go straight back through the tunnel and be covered, same car, same driver etc. I rang round a few insurers and was told it was a "new" DVLA ruling.

• peugeot and citroen - DPF issues 3 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  I've been reading various horror stories about dpf issues. I had never even heard of dpf until a few months ago. For years now I have had diesel cars becauseI need a decent size practical car for the family and to keep my income tax down on my company cars. I cover maybe 7000 miles per annum and the vast majority is covered around town normally short journeys.
• Renault Clio - Poor MPG 28 Jul 2024 (Forum)
  TBH We don't cover many miles a week and the car is only used for travelling to work which is a 12 mile round trip and we are lucky to cover 5000 miles a year, So the Engine doesn't really get time to get warmed up but after 7 years of owning the car, We have never really had many issues but i would like to increase the MPG.
• Toyota Verso - Insurance Trap useless windscreen cover 5 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  Windscreen broke but Admiral will only realistically use Autoglass. Complete disaster, after nearly 3 weeks turned up with windscreen for a left hand drive car (fixings for autowiper etc in wrong place) and informed that once they get the correct part the cars VIN plate will be covered by windscreen surround! Surely if their supplier can't supply within a reasonable time then the option should be available to get work done elsewhere at a cost that is not punitive to the policy holder.
• Audi A3 TDI - Audi long-life service intervals 15 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  My 2002 A3 1.9 TDI was last serviced by Audi in Oct 2009, at which point it had covered 121,000 miles.  It had a long-life service and I wasn't expecting to be back in the garage for another service until I'd racked up somewhere around 20,000 miles. It's now covered 133,000 miles and the car's service indicator is telling me it requires a service in 1,600 miles.

• Ford Focus RS - Damage caused by loose drain cover 14 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  Hi, A loose drain cover on a council owned road has just caused damage to my tyre and my alloy wheel. I wasn't speeding, it was a 30mph road and I was doing the speed limit. As I am a bit precious about my car I am always careful to look at the road ahead in order to avoid the usual pot holes.
• Ford Focus & TSBs 28 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  I was just about to give up and live with it until I read a Ford TSB that applied to my car that described this fault exactly. It basically means the aircon pump bracket needs to be re-aligned - not a job I want to do myself. My question is, would a Ford dealer carry out this job free as it is covered by a TSB or am I still liable for cost as theres no warranty?
• Dog in car 25 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Our six month old puppy gets terrible motion sickness in the car. Anybody got any hints? She travels in the rear of a Passat estate in a cage covered by a sheet. She drools uncontrollably and looks very wobbly and unhappy.
