Air con bills rise as the weather warms up 20 Jul 2010 (News)
While the average repair stands at £479, the most expensive claim paid by Warranty Direct, on a Mercedes S-Class, cost a staggering £2,293. Audi A4 drivers, too, could see four-figure bills up to £1,485. Warranty Direct's Duncan McClure Fisher said: "The last thing you want on a hot day is to find your air con has failed. Too many drivers leave the system dormant for long periods of time, particularly during the winter, so we highly recommend that it's used at least once a week to avoid causing expensive repairs." -
Volkswagen wins top security award 16 Jun 2010 (News)
Further silverware came VW's way with the Phaeton winning the Luxury class and the Caravelle seeing off the competition as best Large MPV. This is the first time Volkswagen has won the BIVSA overall, with Volvo and Audi the only other companies to have lifted the title in the award's seven year history. The BIVSA are supported by the Home Office, Department for Transport, What Car? and the AA. Cars are judged on a number of criteria identified by the New Vehicle Security Ratings scheme and only those with a maximum five-star rating for 'theft from', double locking and an 'E' insurance suffix to denote they had exceeded the required standard made it through to the final judging. -
