Online pricing tools showing as wrong spec?
Looking a car (buying) options and using various online tools to get a feel for pricing. One car I am looking at definitely has four wheel drive, but
the online tools which use the car reg to give a value, show it as the two
wheel variant. Is this likely to be an
issue when I eventually come to sell it??

Timing chain issues before new car collection. Our rights to pull out?
Hi all, Hoping for a bit of advice on our current situation. We purchased a Mercedes C class (2011) 3 weeks ago that had an engine light on - told it would probably be a sensor (I thought so too) and they'll get it fixed before collection.

Why would a main dealership carry out an MOT six months before it was due ?
Hello, I bought a Hyundai i10 (registered September 2015) from a main dealership in mid March 2019. Both previous MOTs (dated 04 Sept 2018 and 12 March 2019) were carried out at the dealership's own garage. Both were Passes and no advisories.

Static CCTV - who controls them?

Is it likely to result in a fine if out of the hours it’s stipulated that they man certain cameras or is it a 24/7 thing? Hopefully someone will be able to…
