• Sale of goods act and Ebay 13 Dec 2004 (Forum)

• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - Warranty: cover with irregular Service History 27 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  I have just bought a 3 year old Mondeo from a dealer in Southampton, with 30K on the clock. I found the car on the internet and went to view and purchase the car yesterday. When I originally phoned about the car, I asked if there was a full service history and I was told there was. I did a visual check of the car and went for a test drive.

• Good Car insurance for an 18 year old? 1 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  Hi guys, Being 18 is the biggest pain for car insurance. I basically need a policy that covers me to drive other cars third party.  I commute back and forward to England as I have family there and would use their cars while there.  I have been covered up to now by Quinn who have recently announced that they have raised the age to 25!
• Channel island cars UK or Imports?? 5 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  We're trying to trade in our Leon TDi S that started life as a Jersey hire car, then the dealer who imported it had it in their name so we're the 2nd UK owner. SEAT UK say its a UK car and it has the standard UK warranty and AA cover (we have a letter confirming the warranty cover but not the UK car bit), but our local Vauxhall dealer say its an import and value it as such (ie £1250 under the online Network Q thingy from Glass' guide) Who is right?
• Ford Focus Zetec 2008 - Does 3 months warranty from dealer cover faulty AC 11 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  I phoned the dealer and he immediately said this belongs under servicing and that's not covered in the warranty which I don't really get. When we bought the car I asked what was included in the warranty and he simply said everything. As far as i'm concerned no matter what the AC / ventilation system fall under, this should be covered by the warranty.

• Renault Scenic - Headlights for France 12 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  What's the best way of adjusting the headlights for driving on the continent? My new (last of the old-style) Scenic has twin headlights with no obvious area to cover to remove the kerbside bit of the dipped beam. Previous cars had a moulding in the lens to cover with black tape or a ridged deflecting lens. Thanks guys
