• Ford Focus MKI 2.0 petrol - Cam cover gasket gone or worse? 9 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  Hoping this is just the cam cover gasket. Is it worth replacing just the gasket or do these plastic covers warp over time and won't seal even with a new gasket? Maybe an engine degrease, cross fingers and forget about it instead?
• Breakdown cover for travelling abroad 5 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  I am travelling to France (and possibly into Spain for a day) for the family holiday this year. Anyone any recommendations on good breakdown cover policies? My Altea is covered by Seat Assistance but this seems to be a case of if you breakdown we will tow you to Seat garage. No replacement cars, onward travel etc. Have previously used AA 5 star but not sure what the best deals are.
• condensation inside of headlights covers 19 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, I am in the process of buying a used A3 (1.8 T, 2001) from approved Audi dealer. When doing the check around the car, I noticed there was condensation on the inside of the clear plastic sheet part that covers the headlights. This was only on the right hand light, the other one was fine. The guy at the dealer said this was normal as the car hadn\'t been used for a while and that it would go away after normal use.

• Fiat Punto - Leaking camshaft cover 16 Jun 2002 (Forum)
  When I opened the bonnet today I noticed a thin film of oil had leaked over the front of the engine from underneath the camshaft cover. Closer inspection revealed that the front nearside camshaft cover mounting bolt was loose. I tightened it up and checked the oil level, which was full. I don't know that much about cars ( which is why I get the car serviced by a garage) but I wonder whether any damage is likely to have been done by this leak?

• Motor Legal Cover - Worth it? 6 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  How many backroomers bother taking this option out? Does the insured generally benefit from adding legal cover and if I didnt have it what are the consequences in regard to trying to obtain from a 3rd party. My insurance website states that Legal cover, 'covers any legal cost for any motor prosecution excluding drink/driving related offences.
• Vauxhall Warranty Cover 3 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  The water is coming from somewhere in the upperpart of the car. The dealer says that the bodywork is not covered by the 2nd & 3rd year, and that we "Should have read the small print". The only small print in the warrenty booklet says that wear & tear items, soft trim and consumables are not covered, but dosn't seem to exclude anything else.
