• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 06 2.0 Doubts about the service 11 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  This might give the impression of a car covered in grime with number plates obliterated. It's not. I've driven it all week when others were having days off work due to the bad weather and even managed to get to the garage for the service - when others didn't -in the snow and slush so to see a comment like that makes me wonder what they expected to be presented with.

• Toyota rav4 - I'm not sure if a garage has created me 28 May 2021 (Forum)
  spent £3750 on a car 6000 miles down the road and 10months my mot BILL is due AND £1300 the garage said to PASS CAR ,i looked back at the mot history and was suspect to see that mot have had advisories on every year and never been attended to or fixed to my knowledge  yet the mot that come with the car had a pass with no advisories and my new mot came  with the past history of all the years  advisories  £1300 bill all in one bundle ,all the MOT are done by the same MOT inspection garage who has covered its history who is situated next door (and why they didn't pick up at least one of advisories over the last 10 years when they did the MOT  the previous advisories had been corrected as not showing on the mot I thought, is this a honest garage 
• Ford Mondeo 2006 - Rear Tailight Housing/Leak 23 May 2021 (Forum)
  I'm not keen on replacing the whole rear quarter panel of the car and it doesn't look like I can pull the bodywork back out, other than using some sort of tape to cover the gap is there anything else I can use to seal it and stop water getting in without it looking terrible?
• Ford Focus C-max 1.6LX - Exhaust Heat Shield 9 Apr 2016 (Forum)
  Just had one of our cars into local garage for welding to exhaust brackets, when picking car up the mechanic uttered those immortal words "I removed your heat shield it's not needed". I've come across this before and know there have been discussions about it eg: "if not needed why fit in first place" etc.
• Lost control on roundabout 31 May 2015 (Forum)
  Driving to work this morning, going round a roundabout, perhaps 30 mph, turned left to exit and completely lost control of the car which did a 360 degree spin, coming to a halt on the grass verge. Quite how I did not hit another vehicle or a lamppost I do not know. Anyway, the car is fine, albeit covered in grass clippings. I rang the local police, and they will check the road surface for oil etc.
• KTM - Insurance Claim 22 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  I asked what the claim was as i had no recollection of a motor claim, and was told it was " a trampoline hit a neighbors car" this was correct, as a storm had blown the trampoline onto a neighbors car and damaged it. The claim was settled by our house insurance, as our car insurance wouldn't cover. So when the question was asked, if i had and claims, accidents or losses or damages in the last 3 years, i took this as referring to Motor claims, not household claims....as the question never asked to disclose household claims...any help would be appreciated.

  I have a BMW X5 3.0 diesel, just coming up to its fifth birthday. I got a quote for BMW Insured Warranty Comprehehsive cover for next year, and it quoted £926.71 for a year with £100 excess for a car with 50,000 miles, but said to log in to the BMW warranty site for an exact quote. I did, and entered my mileage which is 68,355.
