  • Temporary Car Insurance 21 Aug 2004 (Forum)
    I am trying to help a friend out and wonder if anyone here can help me. He is looking for temporary (1 month) insurance cover on my car.

  • Car Bras 28 Mar 2006 (Forum)
    It's been changed because it gave no hint of what the thread is about. HJ.) Saw a Chrysler Grand Voyager in the local car park this morning -the front was hidden by a padded plastic cover that extended from below the grille to the windscreen. Presumably to prevent stone chips, but it completely ruined the look of the car.

    Now the Shuttle is more than 16 years old we are being refused breakdown cover for our holiday in Germany/Poland. Although I have every confidence the car won't let us down, we need to have some peace of mind. Can anyone recommend a European breakdown service for older/classic cars??

    This doesn't include a new airbag as I don't need one, it's just the cover. My question is, is it a big job to take the airbag out of the old cover and put it in the new one? The car goes back in July and I'm worried it will get flagged.  Thanks in advance.

  • Time to renew breakdown cover 1 Apr 2014 (Forum)
    Currently with the AA but notice a lot of cheaper seemingly good providers such as 'start rescue', 'QDOS', 'Driverguardian' The only reason i'm thinking of sticking to the AA is because of their 'breakdown repair cover'  My car broke doen 2 months ago and an ignition coil was replaced free as I was on that policy. Nobody else seems to offer that sort of thing. For those interested in the breakdown repair cover, the things covered and excuded are here:  http://www.theaa.com/breakdown-cover/breakdown-repair-cover.jsp#tabview%3Dtab2   Should I stick to the AA or cn anyone recommend me a cheaper alternative just as good?
