Car Insurance Voided - FSA Agree
To cut a long story short my car insurance voided my my claim (my car door spontaneously set on fire) and my whole insurance on the basis that I didn't declare the alloys on the car ( which is fair enough - not being aware isn't an excuse for not declaring I guess).

Fiat Seicento washer pump cost
Hi! Just had my car MOT'd at a friend's garage and he's quoted £70 for a washer pump and £50 labour. I read that Fiat Seicento washer pumps are really hard to get into... Does this sound reasonable to you guys? Cause I can get a generic one from Halfords for £15 and a Fiat one from eBay for £30. Thanks!

Breakdown cover
Just discovered that RAC do not refund your payment if you want to cancel during the year. Bought a new car with manufacturer's cover included. Only renewed for the year in Feb 2012 and RAC get to keep the remainder of my payment. Feel a bit shocked at this!!
