  • Autoaid Breakdown Service 18 Aug 2009 (Forum)
    However on reading the Autoaid wording, and phoning them to confirm, it would appear that this £37 covers the policyholder AND their spouse in whatever cars they drive!! (Interestingly one of the criteria is that the car must have a spare tyre!). OK I know its an insurance policy rather than staright forward breakdown cover, but £37 to take away the hassle involved in a breakdown for 2 different cars (or people in reality) is a great deal.
  • Mitsubishi Carisma (1995 - 2004) - 2004 1.9 DI-D Plastic engine undertray removal. 27 Aug 2008 (Forum)
    The oil filter is easily accessable at the front of the engine. I can guess where the sump is, but it is covered in a large plastic cover underneath the car. There are two pairs of bolts underneath the front bumper on the left and right side. My question is: how can i get this cover off? I'm hoping someone has done a service on this make of car and can help me or i'll have to throw in the towel and take it to the garage.

  • Renault Laguna 2002 Import 17 Nov 2003 (Forum)
    Does anyone know how much warranty you have with a 2002 model Renault Laguna? It was not from an official Renault franchise but bought from Ian Shipton Cars in Burton-on-Trent. There is no warranty claim issue as such, it just came up in a conversation as to whether the car has just 12 months cover or 24 months cover. Does anyone have any idea?
  • Breakdown cover 1 mile scam? 9 Jan 2024 (Forum)
    Just shopping round for breakdown cover now, i notice most of them include a clause that you're not covered within 1 mile of your home address.... what's that all about and why are people ok with that? I don't want to pay extra for home start, because i'm not bothered about home start.
