Heeeeeeelp, I'm an idiot!!
:mad: I consider myself to be an intelligent person but this morning I acted like an absolute idiot. I was behind a car when the driver suddenly braked and I went into the back of him.

I've had my new (used) car for almost a week, its a 08 plate with 9000 miles, but I have noticed its making brake noises. It sounds very much like wire grinding or metal on metal. However, its not always possible to recreate immediately. You can only really hear it when depressing the brake at low speeds. I dont think it…

I've just bought a car (Mazda) but haven't yet sold my old car (Astra). I have insurance on the Astra through Privilege but now need to get insurance on the Mazda. I'll be selling the Astra within the next few weeks and I'm not sure what to do for insurance. Can I add the Mazda to the same policy as a second car then…
