Not sure if I hit car
At traffic lights on a hill today for ages, I rolled back. I felt my car shudder slightly but it may be because I braked sharply and put the handbrake on. However I am very paranoid I hit the car behind me - they were very close. I wasn't beeped and the car behind me moved alongside me without looking at me - I also looked…

Garage is taking way too long and not communicating
On October 23rd i messaged a garage that reconditioned the engine on my E90 320d as i had a warranty on the engine and i was having problems potentially related to it. They said they could not look at the car until the 30th and that is when i sent it to them and they received the car. This garage is about 110miles from my…

New car or new engine
Hi everyone, Just looking for people's thoughts and/or advice. My car's (a 2009 Clio) engine is, effectively, dead. The garage have quoted £100 scrap value or a replacement second hand engine fitted for just under £1300. They reckon the car will be worth around £2000 once the work is done. Seems a no-brainer. This does…

No win No fee
I was knocked over by a van , just coming up to three years ago, and sustained serious injuries. I have only recently had the courage to make a claim. The solicitors have told me that they will take on my case, but I have had to pay an'issue fee' of £300 up front as it is so near the cut off date. I understand the…

Suggestions for s/h car please. Would be Jazz or Yaris sized.
(not for me in case someone thinks I've dumped electric :D ) Probably an auto version. Wasn't impressed with the auto on Aygo but that might be different to Yaris auto? Max budget probably around £10k. Needs to have a decent boot to fit a buggy and I know that Yaris will just do it. I know there are lots of other similar…

SORN in winter months
If you had a car you don’t need to use for 4-8 weeks, but that period happens to be over the coldest time of the year, would you SORN it to save a bit of money or keep it on the road and use it pointlessly a couple of times a week to avoid problems with freezing weather/lack of use?
