• BMW 320i 2007 - Warranty Direct - Complete Protection No 19 Jul 2014 (Forum)
  Reading the website blurb for Warranty Direct who are an insurance seller the state on the front page they state "Complete protection" well that statement is misleading, the policy states they do not do oil leaks unless engine out as I said which would avoid small jobs on other cars but this policy is tailored to my car and a £1061 repair is not covered I have wasted my money on a bad policy. As usual read all policy details and the small print and do not assume anything.

  On my 1.9 Tdi 105bhp Golf there is a quite loud tapping noise when revved over idle (no sound on idle). I think it is a problem relating to the cam, the car has covered 100k I have removed the rocker cover too get a better look and all off the tappets look to be set at the same height....however one looks very flush to the base - Could this be the cause of the noise???

• Protected no claims really is a waste of time 12 Sep 2008 (Forum)

• Teenage provisional driver moped & parking tickets 27 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  Yes you may all laugh..I did to until I realised my beloved had landed himself a £60.00 fine payable in 2 weeks!! I know the law on parking on a private car park is different but can a ticket be enforced on a 16year old driving on a provisional licence with no bank account or income as he will be returning to school in September? As his parent I know who will cover the initial outlay but feel it is unjust that I have to cover fines when I have no real impact on his parking.
