I seemed to have helped 2 people with this today so I thought I'd post it in case it helps anyone else. We all know how expensive it is when your MOT, Insurance & Road Tax comes round at the same time. Well, If you only buy 6 months road tax the next time it is due and then when that expires you pay for 12 months, you…

Having recently received my renewal from VW Assistance and having decided it's about time I looked around for alternatives, it seems that AutoAid would be a very good way to go.

Not too long ago I received train tickets free by 1st class post. Now I can only find next day delivery at £6-£7, or from a machine at some stations. Adding that amount to a ticket prompts me to go by bus, much cheaper but not as convenient. Has the free 1st class post been stopped? It is still shown as an option on the…
