• "Driving other cars" extension 25 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  s car but ?only if the car is already insured in it?s own right. If it has no insurance then the driving other cars extension does not apply? I wonder why this is as any claim could not be for damage to the 340 but only to cover a third parties loss.

• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 05 1.6 - Anyone experienced clutch problems ? 15 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  Rarely have I heard of a clutch failing in any car at 43k miles, unless it's constantly been driven erratically. Most cars I have come across have covered well in excess of 100k on the original clutch. My old Peugeot 309 1.9D was still on its original clutch at 150k and my current 306 1.9TD covered 172k on its original clutch.

I certainly wont be changing my car more than say 6 times a year but it does seem as though I will be unable to continue with my current insurer.
