• Rover 25 (1999 - 2005) - 01 1.6 engine/garage problems 29 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  On Tuesday 5th January the garage contacted me - I went in to see them, and I was sat down and told that there was a fundamental running problem with the car which they were unable to trace, and that they were not able to spend any more time or expense on the fault.

• Mercedes Sprinter Van - Rental Van hit-and-run CCTV but no license plate 14 Aug 2020 (Forum)
  And if they say the van is insured by a third party the burden of proof is to show that otherwise it must be assumed the van is insured with them and the driver has a rental agreement for costs (not an insurance policy) It seems a convenient fact that the rental company will potentially profit from a criminal hit-and-run whilst watching the innocent party (me) bear the costs of this act. I'm not a lawyer, but naturally feel aggrieved at the situation especially as my vehicle is brand new.
