Dealership investigating car problems 3 Nov 2003 (Forum)
Thing is, these problems are fairly intermittent but still quite serious. If I take my car into the Nissan dealership for them to look at and "investigate" the problems, what happens if they do not find anything wrong?

Vauxhall Zafira - Ending Motor Trade Insurance & Using NCD in future 16 Sep 2025 (Forum)
I understand that some insurers accept NCD as a named driver and this named driver cover will be ongoing right up until I intend to get my own car again in the future.

Why Do Flies Like My Car?? 14 Nov 2014 (Forum)
This may sound a little strange, but its honestly not a wind up! I have a white Ford Mustang, and just lately it seems to be covered in flies every time I go out to it....I don't mean just one or two, but literally swarms of the horrid things. Its like something out of a horror film! My partner's car is parked right next to it, but they don't go on her car, nor on my neighbours car. -

Vw Passat 07 plate - Just bought a used car which has a issue 14 Sep 2016 (Forum)
I did my research and crossed that on my list as that certainly isn't the cause. After that I asked for one of the engineers to sot in the car and he said it is properly the fly wheel. They kept it in all day and as I went to collect it they saod due to the age and the milage there's nothing they can do. Where if it was a new car they would swap the fly wheel straight away. -
