To change or not to change
Hi all For the last couple of months I have considered changing my car. I am currently driving a 3 door mk6 Golf and find it a bit tricky getting our 18 month old son in and out of the car and would like something which is a 5 door and has a bigger boot for the pram. I saw a nice 2010 Passat CC earlier in the week, took it…

We now want my 17 year old daughter to use the Suzuki but the insurance price comparisons wont respond with a quote as the registered keeper is still my wife. Can we transfer the registered keeper? Is there an insurance company that will quote…

Suspension of Driving Licence
A relative of mine has recently had an eyesight test at the request of the DVLA. On going to Specsavers (the DVLA's designated optician) they failed the test but they were offered an immediate re-test albeit with a fee payable. They refused their kind offer and subsequently they lost their licence. If a person fails a test…

How long should brakes last?
I've just had a 50,000 mile service done on my Fiesta (owned from new since 2012) and had to have the front disks and pads replaced. Do people think that's a reasonable wear rate? Would the fact that I drive for at least a third of the year on Scottish roads liberally sprinkled with corrosive materials be a factor in…

Forgot to change the address on my car's V5C.
The long and the short of it is I moved house the other month, and forgot to send off the slip from my V5C to get the address changed. I've been merrily driving around for the last couple of months or so with my old house address still registered against the vehicle. Now, normally I wouldn't be too worried about this.…

No offers
Looking at secondhand cars to replace my dying banger, and I have noticed a few ads with this phrase. It just seems a stupid thing to put in an ad. The reason why people make offers on cars is because value depends on condition. Two cars, same year, same millage, are unlikely to be worth the same. I base what I offer for a…

Tesco Fuel Save
If I spend clubcard vouchers buying fuel, do I also get the Fuelsave discount too. So just as an example, if I put in £30 worth of fuel, which goes down to say £28 with the fuelsave discount. Would it only cost me £28 worth of clubcard vouchers?
