Hi, I have a honda FRV. The A/c doesn't work as there's no refrigerant as there's small leaks in pipe and radiator would need replacing costing over £1k. The clutch engages, compressor works as does the a/c fan. I have decided not to get it repaired as I don't really need the a/c. My question is regarding the radiator…

Tyre Shopper / National Tyres alignment problem.
I'm so angry. Had 4 tyres fitted and a alignment by National at the end of Feb. It wasn't cheap either, over £500. (I blame the stupid wheels on my car). For obvious reasons I've used the car a lot less than usual since, although I am a key worker so it has been used. I'd estimate about 2000 miles in just over 4 months.…

Re Importing a vehicle you previously had registered in the UK.
I'm reimporting my motorcycle after permanently exporting it 18 months ago. I can't get through to DVLA for advice and have found conflicting advice online. I've seen the general rules for importing which talk about NOVA application to HMRC. This says it applies if you have bought a vehicle outside the UK which I haven't.…

We have since changed our mind due to personal circumstances. We haven't actually seen the vehicle as it is 5hrs drive away. Do we have any…

Pothole claim
Hello, can anyone advise on what to do when you were driving on a major A road with nowhere to safely pull over and take photos of the pothole? Can a claim still be successful?

I have never heard of this brand and having decent tyres on my car is somewhat important... it's difficult to tell if these are chinese ditchfinders or not. They have loads of tread so I don't really want to replace them; but if they are…

A very good friend of mine (honest its not me) is looking at buying a new (to him) car from a main dealer. It's 6 months old, the right price etc etc and I suggested to him that he would be wise to run an HPI check. What I didn't realise is the sheer amount of companies and sites offering this and all may not be equal. Any…

Large family car recommendations
Hi all, I'm looking to get a larger family car as our current 2013 Ford Focus is getting on a bit but also is a bit too small for our needs - it was bought over a year before our (now) 10-month old baby was even planned! Therefore the Focus' boot space isn't sufficient for our Joie DLX pushchair and Britax car seat. The…
