Buying a used car to save money -query
Hi all I used to just have bangers (multiple Micra driven until they broke), but I got lazy and am currently in a BMW i3 at £433.33 a month.

I have a six year old A1 on 50,000 miles. Owned it since new. 18 months ago a front spring snapped at 30,000 miles.

Heard a…

92 in a 70
Been naughty and got a NIP for 92 on the M25. Not denying it, I know it was wrong. So, I've had no points for years, is this likely to be a court job or a hefty FPN and points? :o

Personalised number plates
I wish to buy a private plate for a new car arriving in 6-8 weeks. Is it better to get the plate before the car arrives so that the dealer does the transfer? How long can I hold to the number before the car arrives? Or is it better to take the car with normal plate and transfer the plate later? Thanks in advance

Dart charge
I use the Dartford crossing very occasionally. I set up an auto top up account which tops up by £10 if it goes below £10. I thought this would be an easy way to make sure I would also have a payment sorted if I use the crossing. Today I have received an email saying that because my account has been inactive for 12 months…
