I've had loads of hassle off my current insurer (swiftcover) because
they want me to use their recommended repairer for repairs to my car.
Basically, the nearest recommended repairer was 40+ miles away (in
fact, in a different country!!!) so I told them to get stuffed and

As everything can easily be delivered via the internet these days i dont

We have an X registered (2000) BMW 525i. It spent its early life in Cyprus.
The registration Document states it was first registered in Jan 2001 and

I got to thinking about reducing my carbon footprint the other day.  Not

Last year I told my insurance company that I only did about 13000 miles a
year, as it happens I actually did about 14000. When I renew I suppose I
should tell them that I will now be doing about 14000 a year. Does any body
have a clue how much more it is likely to cost me? My ...

In September 2007 I took delivery of a new Skoda Octavia Est. L&G with the
Sat Nav option. Although the Skoda Sat Nav has TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
to show road delays,  the car was shipped with a non-TMC disc, very helpful.

Yesterday i made a post saying i had given up the car .
Although really just a post to say the cost of motoring has become so
expensive that to me it was no longer worth owning a car and spending x

After successfully making it through the first year of driving without
crashing into anything, 18 yr old daughter is saving for a slight upgrade to
the 1989 Toyota Starlet she's been pootling about in.
Could we please have some recommendations for something around the £500-£600

My wife knocked the wing mirror on another car recently. She stopped, and
admitted it was her fault and asked the guy to get in touch about it. He was
very aggressive. She said he was driving a "biggish car (passat size) but
