Ordered products on July 13th. Still waiting - 13 August. Contacted company on a number of occasions. Same reply. They said it is a problem with Evri. Refusing to refund or cancel my order as its Evri's problem. But its their delivery service they use. Go elsewhere. 

I need to replace my car which has suffered a major issue and is probably not economical to repair. Went to a main dealer to look at cars and rather like the Juke. We haven't changed our cars now for some time and have never bought 2nd hand before. Salesman was as expected helpful and we looked at 3-4 year old cars as well…

My daughter has bought a new car so we need to sell her old car (Fiesta 1.2 2010). The car is on my drive and has been SORN and has no insurance. We want to sell the car privately, but if the buyer wants a test drive how do we do this ? My insurance (AA) allows me to drive other cars 3rd party with the owners permission,…

I wanted to highlight a suspect business practise around the way Policy Expert go about auto renewals of car insurance policies. I received an email from them highlighting my insurance was going to run out soon including the paragraph: ‘It's quick and easy to renew your insurance. If your details and the cover you need are…

We bought an MG4 EV 11 days ago from an Ancaster dealer. It is an ex-demo, first registered in September 2025. It came with a 7 year manufacturer's warranty (6 years still remaining). The day after we collected it we noticed a couple of minor faults: the A-pillar cover by the windscreen had come off, and the dashcam was…

Hello. I signed up in July to National Intensive (driving course) on behalf of my wife, booking a 17.5 hour course for an automatic-only driving test. I erroneously thought it would be an actual intensive driving course, but turns out they just are a middleperson broker who send out messages to instructors to see if they…

I have a 2025 Honda Jazz Hybrid and will be going on holiday for 3 weeks and leaving the car parked for the 3 weeks. I have been hearing a lot about the 12 volt battery going flat and I should connect a trickle charger to it but that won't be possible. Has anyone had this problem with a hybrid car and what did they do?

Hi all I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable can help me. I have a Citroen C4 that had a safety recall which I got fixed in April. I'm trying to sell the car now but the DVLA online records still say that there is an outstanding safety recall. I've spoken with the dealer/manufacturer who confirms that there are no…

My current vehicle was bought new and I applied my plate to the vehicle at first registration, it is also screwed into the vehicle. I am replacing the vehicle with another new car which will be a 76 plate so awaiting its…

Hi all. Lookin to get rid of one of our cars which is on HP. We are past the half way point, and I have used some info on the legal beagle website so far. Has anyone had experience with this? Ours is through Oodle. General condition of the car is good for its age IMO. Brakes need doing I believe just the pads, if this is…

I needed to charge my EV (not a Porsche), so I used the Porsche charger in the hotel car park. I plugged the lead in, and started to download the Porsche app, so I could pay. I was getting annoyed with that, as it wanted me to register, etc. Then I noticed that charging had started without my registering or paying. It…

Hello, I'm looking to check the validity of reviews for 360 Vehicle Leasing. Do you have any experience of them? https://www.360vehicleleasing.co.uk Thanks 

We have a 2024 Nissan Xtrail Epower 4force, purchased new in October 2024. It developed a low speed noise from the rear. We reported it to the dealer at around 7 months old. In the last year it has had the brakes replaced all round, then and none of that worked. The dealer has had it for the last 6 weeks and have replaced…

I have a Renault Megane E-Tech which developed an electric fault just outside of warranty. I took it into the dealer and they came back to say it was the compressor that needed fixing/replacing which impacts the air conditioning. They contacted Renault UK who offered to cover 50% of the repair cost, which is about £1,300.…

I currently have an Hyundai i10 17 plate that has done 80,000 and would like to change my car. I do a lot of miles annually in the sense that I live in a rural area but not on a daily basis so can charge overnight rather than using an expensive rapid charger at a charging point. Would need to get an EV charger fitted and…

I am always on Facebook, recently there are videos of people using lasers to remove rust/paint etc. Does anyone use one and are they expensive? They remove rust and then it's ready to paint? They look like a very dangerous tool in the wrong hands; health and safety will no doubt restrict their use, assuming they are legal.

So I understand a plug in hybrid car will run on electric for all my short journeys and not use the petrol in the tank. But petrol degrades and we are told not to use old petrol as it could damage the engine. "No, you should not use old petrol in your car if it has been sitting for more than 3 to 6 months, as it degrades,…
