Claim back petrol money?
Hello, I have over a 70 mile drive (round trip) to work every day and am spending at least £50 a week on fuel.

Can I withdraw an insurance claim?
In January, in the worst of the weather and on a snowy icy car park, my car decided to go a different way to which I wanted her to go and I ended up sliding into a hedge and colliding with a raised kerb.

Where to get duplicate aftermarket alarm fob?

Alarm query.
Does anyone know if it's possible to lock a car, but for the alarm not to sound. It's a Citroen. My dog sets the alarm off when I leave him due his movement. I'm having to leave it unlocked when I go into a shop, and worried someone will make off with him.
