European cover
I'm going away on a trip for about 40 days in Europe. The breakdown cover companies recommended on this site only cover trips of up to 31 days. Anyone got any recommendations? It almost seems to me that it's not going to be much more expensive to just pay for any issues if and when they actually occur or is this stupid?

Motor oil £1.50 a litre at asda!!!
Just spotted motor oil at £1.50 a litre at Asda, the normal price for it is only £2.50 a litre anyway so Asda seems to be the place to buy motor oil. It stuck out like a sore thumb as I paid £7.99 for the same one at Sainsburys petrol station the other day. : (

Ford Focus Tyres?
Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably priced tyre for a 10-year-old Focus? I've always gone with the Pirelli P6000's as that's what was on them when I bought it, but reading the reviews, most people aren't that impressed and I must admit they don't tend to last me a great deal of time and I'm not an aggresive driver,…

Ford Focus Scratch repairs
Hi all, hope you're well :) I'm looking to sell my lovely Ford Focus 06 plate, but due to a few tight parking spaces I have a few scratches on the doors.

What time of the morning does the A23 start to get busy?
I'm going to be driving Purley to Salfords every morning (for 8am) and would like to leave earlier rather than sit in traffic. I've been told it gets pretty bad. I'm hoping someone here does the drive daily and can offer some advice? Thank you :)

Negotiating 0% finance on a new car
Is this even possible? Or do those sort of offers come direct from the manufacturer or loan company, and therefore the dealer has no control over when to offer it?

Lithuanian DL question
Hey all, I've had an employee drop driving documents off so she can switch departments (she needs to go on the company insurance as she'll be driving a company van), and she's handed me a Lithuanian DL.
