• Toyota Corolla - Accident Management Company 12 Jun 2015 (Forum)
  I am now claimining through my own insurance, so the third party will be receiving two claims about my car. One for the pickup, storage, then delivery back to me of my vehicle and for the hire car from the accident management company and another from my insurance for the repairs.   Sorry for the massive wall of text for my first post and hope it all makes sense!
• Peugeot 406 Diesel Estate Disk Brakes 9 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  The dealer had reported to Peugeot that there was a "material problem" with these disks. This problem was unspecified. Was it manufacturing, design, material, finishing, storage or what? With modern manufacturing standards and regulations surely this should be impossible? The disks replaced on the dates below were Peugeot supplied parts: 12.03.01 31.08.01 12.12.01 The disks I've got now have done just over 1000 miles since the last change.
• 1.2 TSI vs 1.6 CR 105 - Skoda Fabia - advice to a colleague 6 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  Her best mate told me all this (another colleague) and I said - right car (she has a dog and needs storage for camping and to tow a trailer) but totally the wrong engine. The colleague in question had a chat to me today and I explained that with her annual mileage and the type of driving (mainly through town with the odd motorway jaunt) haivng a diesel would be totally unsuitable.
• Warranty woes - I need legal advice! 16 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  I rang the garage that sold me the warranty and spoke to the Sales Manager who told me that:- 1) the salesman couldn't have sold me a "Gilt Edged" plan since it doesn't cover vehicles over 100k miles and runs for a minimum of a year (NEITHER of which are mentioned on the application form or in the Motorcare Warranties booklet they gave me) 2) the salesman couldn't have performed the upgrade if I didn't physically sign for the it (which is rubbish since it WAS upgraded, but only one step from "Silver" to "Gold") 3) the salesman who sold me the warranty has left the company can't be questioned 4) the relevant documentation is in storage for a company move so is unaccessible and will be for a period of time All the Sales Manager would offer me was a refund of the extra £50 I paid for the additional step from "Gold" to "Gilted Edge" cover, but obviously that's not what I want since it leaves me with a £500+ bill to pay!
• tablet pc - 2010 Top 7 Network Technology 27 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  In 2010, at 6A cables, Gigabit switches and other equipment support, the network represented by 10GBase ultra high-speed network, has gradually liberalized the rule from the data center to the vast metropolitan area of pace. 5 Simplify data center architecture proven I believe many of my friends have heard in 2010, “next-generation data center architecture” concept, which combines Ethernet, data networks and storage networks, “simplified” network architecture, has become a data center network construction favorite. We all know that the traditional data center architecture, Ethernet, data network and storage network are actually operating independently of each other, this way, data exchange between different networks will be a bottleneck, a serious impediment to business the pace of development; the same time, virtualization technology to a large extent by the traditional data center network architecture limitations.
• Seat Altea XL - first impressions 21 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Also, unlike the Scenic, there is the middle hump that runs through the floor making things less comfy for a middle passenger. Storage is limited to 2 pull down flaps under the front seats (not drawers) and the centre armrest which has a split level in it, pens etc on top and then a couple of CDs in the bottom bit. There are no underfloor or underseat cubbies in the back like the Scenic does.
• Jeep Wrangler - Refusal of refund on a faulty car 28 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  They then drove and fixed the car without our permission and attempted to force us to pick the car up by charging us £30 a day storage. The police were contacted who notified them they were acting outside the law but they continued on with the same threat. They refused to tell us what work had been done on the car or who did the work.
• bmw x3 (09) SE Auto - problems with a secondhand / used car i have just 6 Sep 2013 (Forum)
  2. spring of the left hand side of storage cover / roller blind is broken, so when it is applied there is no tension on the left hand side, but looks like too much tension on the right hand side. 3. in the advert they put on autotraders, it said 35000 miles on the clock. but when the vehicle arrived it has got 36118 miles instead.

• Wheel Nuts 2 (Caravan) 7 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  Also fitted where some plastic straps which slide over and connect 2 nuts; the theory being that neither can unwind. Travels down to Dorset and back - no probs.

One wheel on my wagon.

• 1.9TD C20 VW Caddy van - Insurance write-off pickle 12 Nov 2015 (Forum)
  The insurance company claims that it could have sold the vehicle on for £1,000 rather than the £500 I received. But I have paid for all recovery and storage costs thus saving the insurance company a significant amount. Surely a settlement nearer to £3,000 is more appropriate? Does the insurance company have an obligation to have the van listed as Cat C?
• Which car to choose....... 12 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  s handling dull and on the soft side (used to have a 1996 Fiesta) so Panda may be better from that point of view, and it puts a big smile on your face just looking at it never mind driving it, but it just lacks cruise control and the centre console looks like an upended brick and lacks storage cubbies....but would that really matter if it was effectively a go-cart with a shell on it?....Do go-carts make good dual-carriageway commuters? Is dull handling much fun on back roads? Then there?
• It's a rattling good car, anyway 14 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  Jo-Anne politely asks me to stop for a moment. I do. She says do I mind if she opens the center console storage box. Well I suppose so but the rattle isn't coming from there. It's you people who made it worse. Sir, may I? She wants to remove 3 cassette tapes and a bottle of cologne. Yes I suppose so. Sir (sweetly), may we just try the car again to see if the rattle is still there?
• Honda Civic 1.0 SR - First impressions 9 May 2019 (Forum)
  There is a cubby in the central binnacle thing that temporarily lost my house keys as they fell through the tiny lip at the back into an awkward little tray beneath. The armrest/storage has an ugly open section at the front that you cant close off. The feature lines of the dashboard bear little relation to the feature lines on the door. They appear as if they are from different cars.
• SEAT Alhambra - sunroof exploded 23 Nov 2018 (Forum)
    Motability attempted to replace my vehicle but these were unsuitable for my needs.  I had no storage facility for my wheelchair and I was without transportation for weeks because of this and unable to do any meaningful activities which further exacerbated my mental health conditions. We were due to go on holiday to France a few weeks after this incident.
• Landrover freelander - total loss non fault accident 19 Sep 2012 (Forum)
  So all in all I've had £1150 for a freelander which I paid much more for spent a lot to get all brakes replaced, head gasket, it had 12 months MOT my stereo worth £200 mats worth £70 etc all of which were gone and crushed before I even knew the car had gone from the storage yard where it was initially held. My understanding was I was to be put in the position I was in before the accident, which as you can tell hasn't happened. It's now approaching 9 months later and I have opened a personal injury claim owing to my broken bones, loss of earnings etc which has been running since February and the third party insurer has thus far refused to acknowledge this.
• Seat Leon 1.4 TSI - First 10 weeks. 18 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  Comfort wise its superb, the ride is way better than the 1 series, its quiet and there is much better internal space. In terms of finish I have no complaints but a couple of reviewers moaned about the quality of a storage flap lid!!!. No rattles so far. On the equipment front it has everything the BMW had and more. Hitting the options list was tempting (as always) but there was nothing that was going to improve my driving experience.
