Car Insurance - vehicle values
I contacted my car insurer to tell them I didn't want to renew my policy as I had had a better quote on the internet! Of course they wanted to know what I'd been quoted and eventually they came up with a decent offer so I accepted it. However, to cut a long story short, one of the ways they did this was by lowering the…

Later that night I put the sink on and a pipe behind the sink burst and started pouring out water. This lasted for all of 30 seconds. In this time I…
