Why don't you indicate?
On my journey to work this morning I discovered to my dismay that I'm now the last indicator left on the road. :( My hope had always been that years of politely indicating would 'spread the love' and encourage others to join me. Not so. I feel it's now time to put the question to the world that's been growing in my mind…

Hi - this is my first post in a long time, so please be kind (hopefully this in in the right forum, too) I was caught in the middle of a three car 'shunting' accident yesterday and my car is likely to be written off.

CP4L and DHL
Towards the end of Feb I ordered a 5L of oil, an oil filter, a sump plug copper washer and some screenwash concentrate from CP4L, with free delivery. The screenwash turned up via one DHL delivery 4 days after dispatch, with no sign of the rest until I phoned up to ask questions. The second delivery about a week later was a…

Whats this special socket called
I didn't know where to put this question so I'm hoping someone on here will know. I'm trying to remove a strut top mounting but I need a special socket but I don't know what they are called. You put the socket on the nut then you put the hex key through the socket then you use a spanner on the socket. This is like the tool…

New VW GTE-1000 miles and now 1 month off the road
Short story: My new VW GTE broken down towards the end of Feb and, despite it being with VW specialists for over a month now they can't confirm when I'll get my car back. It's new, done just over 1000 miles, and I feel like I'm just getting mucked around by VW who, whilst kind enough to supply me with a hire car, don't…

Problems with my 'new' car
I bought a new (17 plate) ford edge from a dealer a month ago, the whole experience was bad from the start and maybe that should have been my clue. - Salesman was terrible and really poor customer service ended up being offered the least amount of trade in for my vehicle (had been to 3 other garages) but this was the best…

Zafira screen not working properly
Recently the screen on my zafira has stopped working properly. The time/date now shows but I can't see any other screen eg FM, what's on the cd etc. The radio works and the cd plays but I can't see so I can't choose the station or connect my Bluetooth device.

Car Insurance Cancellation Obfuscation
Here is my problem: In January, I renewed my car insurance with GoSkippy. But, a few weeks later, I replaced my car, and asked GoSkippy to quote for the new vehicle, as I would prefer to have stayed with them to avoid cancellation fees. But, they wanted £600 more than my existing car insurance, and I had far better quotes…

PCP advertising
Quick rant... Does anyone else find the current PCP advertising tactics a little odd? "FROM £299 PER MONTH!!! With £5,999 deposit Well, first of all, it's a bit sneaky hiding the large deposit in the T&Cs, but secondly... surely if I put an even bigger deposit in the monthly cost would be even less? Why not "From £250 PER…
