• Car insurance for learner drivers 23 Feb 2015 (Forum)
    For the first option the choices are generally between Quinn Direct and Admiral (with telematics), with the prices swapping between them depending upon the model.  The most expensive for the cars I am looking at is about £1,100 and the cheapest is £700.  Not bad I think.   For the second option, the basic cover for SWMBO and me is about £400 plus I need to find the provisional drivers cover, but a couple of companies will not cover the Seat Toledo/Skoda Rapid twins but will cover the comparable Ibiza/Fabias.

• Warranty Ford 17 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  Hey What do you think of this. I have a two year old car from Ford with a 3 year exteneded warranty which my warranty guide (issued 2003) says is simply an extension of the original one year. I have a problem which is covered by this. Ford say they will not cover it as their warranty changed to limit cover in 2004.
• Filling up 21 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  When I fill up, I unlock the petrol cap cover and leave the keys in the cover until I've finished. It occurred to me the other day that as I have my hands full when filling up ~ filler cap in left hand and pump nozzle in right hand ~ I am giving any nearby lowlife the chance to pinch my car keys.
• Covered number plates and parking 20 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  Plus presumably bikes can be towed away the same as cars so if the attendants can not determine the plate number would they not just call for a tow?
• VW Sharan TDi - Extended warranty recommendations 4 Aug 2017 (Forum)
  The only one I looked at is VWs own and to be honest it looks good to me covering everything other than a list of named exclusions but the main thing is it covers what I see as the high risk items DSG, turbo, injectors, fuel pump, EGR, SRC / AdBlue system, catalyst but only covers the DPF for internal failure but not from getting blocked, all the sensors are covered.

• What are the naffest features on modern cars? 25 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  We look back on things like vinyl roofs and matt-black bonnets as car fads that appear highly un-cool now. I was wondering what things that are fashionable on present-day cars will be laughed at in the future.  The thing that comes to mind for me are engine covers that look like dummy engines, with stylised manifolds - are they intake or exhaust - who knows?

• Breakdown cover - what's best ? 23 May 2003 (Forum)
  I've just received my AA renewal - £84 for Roadside, Relay and complimentary Home Start ('cos I never call 'em out I guess). Anyway, I like the idea of being covered (as opposed to the car) but could I do better elsewhere ? Don't want to join a cheap cowboy outfit so has anyone got any suggestions and experiences to relate on this topic ? Thanks in anticipation all !
• Volkswagen Polo IV (2005 - 2009) - Engine Cover - You know - the 'don't tinker' one. 11 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  All, especially the VW owners and lovers amongst us, one my colleagues has recently had his car returned from a dealer following a replacement cylinder head gasket along with some other top end ancillaries. Unfortunately, he didn't look under the bonnet on receipt and on return home when he eventually did, he discovered that the black plastic cover which covers the top of the engine was missing.
