Insurance - 50/50?
Maybe one for the insurance board :eek: but applies to a car insurance claim so... If a claim goes 50/50 and you opt for your car not to be repaired, do you still lose your no claims discount and what needs to be declared in future years?

Csma

Which bike rack for car?
We're off to Centre Parcs in a month or so and would like to take our bikes (2x Adult) with us.

The car doesn't have a utility socket at the rear so I guess that would…

Another key cutting company told him it's hard to get hold of the blanks and Ford will charge you "an arm and a leg". Surely there…

Failing MOT?
Would a scuff mark on the windscreen be enough for a car to fail it's MOT? This mark is about the size of a 50p piece. I never noticed it until it was pointed out by Autoglass. They said I'll have to replace the windscreen as this was enough to fail an MOT. How true is this? I never did replace the windscreen but as the…
