Does motor legal protection include defence of claims for uninsured losses against policy holder?
Question about Motor Legal Protection: one of its main
purposes is recovery of uninsured losses, but does it provide cover in the

in finding out if this is generally…

VAT on VED for a leased vehicle
On April 1, 2025 Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) was instigated for Electric Vehicles (EVs). This seems fair since I create as many potholes as a Diesel SUV. My vehicle is currently leased. The leasing company has told me that I will be billed separately for the VED AND that they would be charging me VAT on top of the amount. As…

Insurance claim seemingly on indefinite hold - can I do anything?
Back in January I had a minor bump when another driver decided to pull out of an illegal parking spot (double yellow lines, hatched markings) into my path.

Another GAP Insurance Question
I’m potentially buying a used car for £60k and putting a £20k deposit down and financing the balance. I’m looking at combined RTI Gap insurance. I believe that in the event of a total loss, it will pay the difference between the insurance company's settlement and the higher of either. The outstanding finance. The original…

Buying car with approx. a £3k budget?
Been getting on 10 years since we've had to buy a car & in that time the second hand market has gone completely silly. If the car we were having to replace was in pre-accident condition then they're going for around what we paid for it about 8 years ago, yet it's obviously older than it was & has done more miles. Absolute…
