Car insurance - infrequent driving
Hi All, I hope you are well. Since car insurers ramp up their insurance costs are there any alternatives e.g. insurance per day rather than as ongoing monthly / annual cost? I don't drive every day, perhaps once or twice a week. I think insuring a car for daily driving considering the most recent price hikes is no longer…

Vauxhall Combo Issue
Hello, I am new here so please bear with me if this post is in the wrong place. 2 years ago I bought a Combo from a Peugeot/Citroen main dealer. It was 3yrs old when I bought it with one previous owner and had a little over 30,000 miles on it. I have always had it serviced and MOT'd when due and had no issues with the…

Dummy speed cameras on M6?
Travelling between Manchester and Birmingham recently, the M6 has these speed signs down most of its length. However, Waze only flags up about 1 in 4 as speed cameras and on looking closer, those 1 in 4 or so have a couple of yellow cameras bolted to the frame. Many drivers seem to realise this and only slow down for those…

Sorry for the long thread, but the history is relevant: Bought a used car 2 months ago with a 6 month dealer warranty. Cost £7k.

I have a 2018 Yaris, which is mostly fine but I'm getting to the age where I would love an automatic. I'm currently doing around 8k a year - lots of trips less than 30 miles but 220 mile round trips once a month or so to see family - these are almost always day trips. I'm hoping to semi-retire soon and do more trips to see…

Fault that garage fixed reappeared a couple of months later
A few months ago at a traffic light my electronic parking handbrake stuck on I transported my car to a garage around the corner from me who replaced the motor on the electronic handbrake (third party part) Today the fault has reappeared so, I am guessing the garage fitted it in correctly which I believe is unlikely as it's…

MOT 13pin towbar electrics
Got my first MOT with 13 pin towbar electrics which are checked during the MOT. I have an adaptor which converts it to 12N and 12S. Some people say leave the adaptor on and then they aren't allowed to check them. Everything works OK but if leaving an adaptor on avoids all problems then it may be worth it?

I’m currently looking for a replacement car and want to be able to view given the plethora of options (and Covid spec cars). When I search on Autotrader the first couple of pages are cars from Cinch available with a mile (because they’ll deliver to my local WBAC site) which leaves me trawling for the non-Cinch cars that…
