They cannot however see his numberplate as it is too blurry. The…

It's likely to be there for some time so what's the best way to protect the tyres from degrading and blowing up next time I move it? :eek: Any advice…

Temporary insurance whilst selling car
Not sure if this is a "how long is a piece of string" question... We have paid a deposit on a used car and need to pay the balance within 2 weeks.

VW Golf wing mirror kicked off
Hi all, My wing mirror was kicked off my car last night. It was hit with such force that whoever did it managed to snap the metal bracket on which the mirror sits.

What is the best way to sell a vehicle?
I have a VW van I want to sell. I don't really know what it's worth as a local dealer wants £13k and webuyanyvan lowest seems to be around 8500k.
