TFL bus destination changes
These are starting to get on my nerves. You board a bus that terminates somewhere beyond your destination, only for the driver to change the terminating stop. You're then forced to board another bus and pay for a second bus journey. I did some reading and apparently there's something called a transfer or inspector ticket…

OMG, I cant believe VW quote
I had my car serviced last week and whilst I was there I asked them to give me a quote for a tiny scratch by the door handle (really a paint pen would do it, but I thought, as car only a year old, worth doing properly) and also a couple of scratches along the plastic under front bumper, from a low kerb. Today they sent me…

And is it worth paying for a genuine Citroen part, or a copy from an online place. The Citroen seems to be about £115 and a copy under half of that. Any help…

Spare Wheel necessary
I've heard that having a spare wheel in the car is not legally a necessity but if you do it must comply with regulations. I had always thought that carrying one was compulsory. Surely doing away with that would save a huge amount of weight and therefore grately increase mpg?

Scrapping - What happens to insurance?
My car recently failed its MOT. Failed on emissions due to the engine misfiring. It's an old car, so it is not cost effective to put it in for engine work as the cost of labour etc will be greater than the value of the car. I have decided that I think I should scrap it. My problem - I have around 4-5 months left on my…
