Suzuki - Car Signwriting 10 Jun 2021 (Forum)
Diabolical company with terrible customer care based on my experience. Spoke to Swinton Insurance immediately following my phone call with Rias, and cover with Swinton for a car with Signwriting is not a problem with them, so instantly took cover with them and cancelled my cover with Rias. Never again and so annoyed with Rias. So if you have Signwriting or get your car wrapped don’t automatically assume that your insurance company will cover you. -

Ball Joint Covers 30 Jul 2002 (Forum)
Hi Everyone This is my first post, and regards an irritating failure on my wife's 1995 Micra. I did a 72000 mile service on the car at the weekend, and found that one of the bottom ball joint covers has split. I've had this before (on the other side of the car), when I discovered that replacement covers or ball joints aren't available.
