• Need your help please.... 21 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  They had the car for over 2 weeks, although it was ready after 4 days they stated they did not want to give the car back until they had carried out extensive road tests. They covered 300 miles in the 2 weeks.... that is 2 days work for us, so really the 300 miles covered were of no value to us.

• Hyundai Tucson - GAP insurance 9 Sep 2021 (Forum)
  I had a new Hyundai Tucson delivered on Monday - it's leased on PCH over 4 years. I understand that for leased cars GAP insurance is worth investing in as it would cover payments should the car be written off. Are there any good insurers to go for?

  I despair HJ Agony column today advising a OAP to get his 5yr old car oil changed every year.  The oil is probably as clean as the day it went in there with this sort of use.  The car obviously needs an annual MOT so feel sure that this would cover any safety contingencies for him.
