VW Emissions - should I sign up or wait?
I missed the boat on the group litigation and wondering if I should sign up with Bond Turner (who’ll take 50% +) or will this become like PPI and if successful eligible VW owners will be able to claim themselves with a template letter or similar? I understand there’s still a long way to go with legal proceedings...

Cancelling AA breakdown membership, have to call?
So, I got my AA renewal quote through. I was so much more than last time. Yo cancel I have to call, at which point they'll bring to price down.

Dodgy MOT?
Just wondering what other people would do in this situation. Bought a 2013 Qashqai 50k miles for £7.2k in January.

I'm looking to buy breakdown cover so I thought about joining greenflag which is £82.88 but I thought it's strange they ask you're age so I put in I was 4 years older and it's £1.12 cheaper so do people lie about their age.
