Bumper cracked - repair possible?
Morning all, I was hoping you wonderful people could advise me on how much a repair might cost (if it's possible) on the damage shown in the image? The car is a 2016 scirocco, and a fallen branch attacked me out of nowhere :) . I understand costs will vary wildly based on the shop I take it to, but an average/ballpark…

Replacement key for 2102 Qashqai.
As title. This is for a car my bro is considering buying, and it only has one key. This is a normal 'bladed' key with 2 buttons. Finding it hard to get definitive info on the likely cost and complexity of getting a spare key and having it programmed. Anyone any idea?!Thanks.

For anyone with a bluetooth OBD2 reader. Mine has turned faulty.
Bought mine towards the back end of last year through eBay. Amazon Link.I didn't buy through Amazon and mine was only around £13-£15 IIRC but mine is a Vgate iCar2 and looks exactly like that. When it was working i'd press the power button and the top 3 lights would light up. Starting yesterday though it just wouldn't…

Looking to buy air compressor
Not exactly motoring but I'm guessing some with motoring interest will have these for various vehicle related jobs & wasn't sure of a better forum for it. In Home DIY perhaps but anyway I'm here now. Not one of those 12v hand held things but i'm still looking at the cheaper end of the scale with these air compressors. No…

Is this evidence of respray?
Hi all - bought a relay van from an official Citroen dealership and it’s 3 years old, totally HPI clear. Totally happy with how it drives and knew that some of the black plastic parts weren’t in top condition, but it was better than any other I’d seen as the relay vans typically take a beating as they’re wide and used by…

Bus Gate Fine
Went on holiday to Brighton a couple of weeks ago and today I received a fine through the post for “being in a bus lane” but when I’ve looked into it, it’s a Bus Gate(??) Has anybody heard of these before and do I just pay it? It’s a council PCN so I don’t want to mess about, but also I’ve never even heard of a Bus Gate…

Auxillis non fault financial information
My car was driven into just over a year ago. Thankfully for me a witness happened to film the entire debacle of the car repeatedly reversing into my parked car. Given this it was assessed as a non fault claim by my insurer. I paid my excess to have the car repaired which my insurer provided me a cheque back for. Whilst it…

Is this the worst time to buy a van??
Company car goes back in September and have finally decided to take the car allowance and buy a van. We have very active lives with lots of kit & the estate car just isn't cutting it anymore. Prices and availability of used vehicles have gone crazy. It seems to make more sense to buy new! But at around £40k this doesn’t…

Odd driving licence query
I have read the MSE guide on driving licences, but this is an odd query. I'm 67 (68 soon) and have an old pink paper licence valid until I'm 70. The address on the licence is correct except for the fact that our post codes were changed years ago. Should I still treat this as a change of address (although actually it is the…

'Debt Recovery' demand, with no previous notice of a parking fine
I have received a letter from a Debt Recovery company, informing me that I have an unpaid parking fine from 2019, and now need to pay £170. The letter is the first I've heard of the fine. I had no letter about a parking ticket back in 2019, and certainly haven't missed 5 demands for payment, as their letter states.The…

Direct Line Car Insurance NOT going down
For the past 2 years, despite ML saying car insurance was going down, my car insurance with Direct Line has stayed the same. I have rung them to haggle, as i always do and normally get it cheaper, but they say that £172 is the lowest they can go. They actually state they do not do any car insurance lower, that is the…

Is this going to be expensive?
Good morning, Arriving home after a trip out to the supermarket I noticed a puddle underneath my car (Ford Fiesta late 2008) and it's leaking anti-freeze 😫. Appears to be coming from underneath where the handrake would be (from what I could see). Know it'll need sorting ASAP but just wondered if I'm looking at an expensive…
