• Can a third party's insurer write off my car 18 Sep 2021 (Forum)
  Being the honest people they are they have now gone back on this and have involved their insurance company. The real fear for us is that we do not want the car to be written off as the value of the repairs will outweigh the value of the car. There are therefore a few questions: 1.If we do not involve our insurance company but allow theirs to inspect the vehicle do they have the power to write off our car?
• Vauxhall Corsa - Car problems on day of purchase - refund owed? 17 Jul 2015 (Forum)

• Skoda Fabia 1.4 16V (2006) - Intermittent cutting out whilst driving - 22 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  The car is in good condition otherwise (75000 miles), has been regularly serviced (last service in February). The only (possible) clue is that the car failed to start in January - the repair man couldn't identify the reason behind this, but then found that a slight manipulation of the engine-cover somehow solved the issue(!)
