• VW dealer "Swindle" 30 May 2001 (Forum)
  The car had only covered 30 000 miles yet I was told I needed loads of work on the front suspension, bushes etc. Eventually the garage agreed to carry out the work at no cost to myself, however I would hate to think that they would have overlooked this had they known they would be covering the cost............
• Jaguar X-Type 2004 175k - Fracked in France - Breakdown Cover Update 8 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  Last year I paid £75 for breakdown cover. I shudder to think what that episode in France cost them. Today, I had a renewal notice. £73.95 including European cover. I have, of course, renewed it immediately, with gratitude and with fulsome praise.

And is it the law that your numberplate must be visible/readable when in a Council Car Park (for argument's sake let's say it doesn't use entry and exit cameras) ?
