• Nissan Bluebird (1986 - 1990) - Anything bad to look out for? 15 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  I can't remember the last time I saw one on the road! Grandad has owned the car from new and it has only covered 40k miles. It's just passed its MOT for another year and has service history. Friend has asked me to give it the once over for him, and I should be able to cover most bases, however I was wondering if any BR contributors have any specific experience of this model as I've never dealt with one before.
• Car insurance - incorrect details 14 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  I am of the opinion that, although he accidently entered incorrect details and he requested cover for a provisional driving licence, that is the cover that his insurer quoted for and was happy to provide. He did not set out to deceive anyone and should he have had to make a claim during those 12 months (thankfully he didn't), he would not have been covered.

• best used car mag ? 9 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  This mag covered every angle in the used car game, great stories about car dealers antics,mystery shoppers visiting showrooms unveiling scandulous selling scams. I'm not aware of any other used car mags on the market but it seems strange considering the used car business is far larger than the new car market.

• form of assignment and agreement 2 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  It now refers to third party as "the unisured driver" and states that her company will pay for my repairs and then persue her for the fees. I am a little confused: It states the fee covers repairs but there is no mention of hire car, when details were checked on the day it seemed the lady was insured. She seemed very genuine and I would hate to do something that led to her having unnecessary agro or cost but obviously my compant are waiting to be paid.

• Toyota Avensis, Honda Accord - Auto Avensis, Accord or something else for <£3k 12 Oct 2014 (Forum)
  Oh yes, and it must be automatic. I am planning to keep the car until it runs out of steam completely so am not worried too much about resale value. So far, I am thinking of buying a large engined petrol and then converting it to LPG after a few months. That will help me spread the initial cost and also see if I like the car before spending dough on the conversion.

• MINI Cooper and Cooper S - mini cooper camshaft sensor failed 21 May 2013 (Forum)
  I agreed for them to clean it up and place a sensor on the block. if it failed again i would pay if it worked the sensor should  be covered by the warraanty I would still pay for rocker cover and remedial work. On arriving to pick up car I found they had cleaned and removed the rust but not put a new sensor on stating it a waste of time but still requested £105 for work carried out even though the work was carried out on basis of sensor being fitted I have offered to pay for sensor and if it doers not fail after 10 weeks have asked them to honour the warranty then and give me a refund. they refused.
