They offer part-exchange. They have tie-ups with church groups, association of retired police officers, camping club and other special interest…

I've just managed to get nearly £20 off my annual AA membership by ringing them up and challenging the price of the automatic renewal. Like most companies, they know most people won't challenge it. Doesn't make me feel any loyalty to the company.

I'm hoping to buy a 4x4 car in the next few months and I'm really just looking for a little advice. At the moment my favourite is the Toyota Rav 4 but I also quite like the Ford Kuga. I drive around 15,000 miles a year and to be perfectly honest my initial thoughts are based on looks rather than performance - apologies to…
