2006 Peugeot 307 SW 2.0 HDI 136 RHR 6 speed box - Clutch pedal springy at bottom of travel 19 Apr 2025 (Forum)
The clutch works fine but I'm about to do a 1500 miles trip in France visiting the my wife's family and don't want to get stranded without all the tools to change the clutch (breakdown cover only covers a repatriation up to the market value so the car would end being sc***ped in France). Thanks in advance Jon -
Honda Jazz - Beware! breakdown cover 1 Mar 2021 (Forum)
HI all,, I have my breakdown cover through my car insurance and thankfully have never had to use it until this week when I drove into a deep pothole. The tire must have deflated because the sound of the bang was typically wheel rim to ground. -

Skoda Octavia I (1998 - 2004) - extended warranty , worth it? 28 Jun 2009 (Forum)
I bought my 04 octavia 1.9tdi just on a year ago and have now done 26k miles in it with no problems at all - 2 services, a cambelt change and just put 2 new front tyres on with mpg at over 50mpg throughout. I bought it from a skoda dealer and had a full skoda warranty which included breakdown, euro cover and engine components etc. Pretty comprehensive and nice to have. I have now done 53k in it and have been offered an extension of the cover. This includes oily bits etc plus parts, labout and VAT without limit up to new price of the car plus roadside, recovery, onward travel and european cover. -

In-Car Cameras & Insurance Policies 18 Nov 2011 (Forum)
So one has to wonder whether it affects the policy. I'd like to think that no sane insurance company would hike a premium to cover equipment fitted largely for their benfit, but then we all know what they're like. If you don't declare it and at some point produce the footage as evidence, I can just imagine a smug claims assessor politely advising you that you're not covered anyway so bye bye. -
Two Policies on One Car 6 Jul 2005 (Forum)
I've tried searching for the answer but cannot find a scenario like ours. Basically, step-son has a car with about 2 months insurance to run. He then intends getting rid of car before college but wants the one years no claims. He's asked his mother can he transfer the remainder of the policy to cover her car for the remaining month - clutch gone on his and it needs taxing. -
