BMW Emissions

I'm now worried that it may have been a…

Confusion at Magistrate court and wrong address
I am not sure where to start so please can anyone point me in the right direction as I may not even have the right category.

I park and then it won't start when I return. The engine turns over and it splutters a little, catches then dies.Tapping on the…

Webuyanycar - a couple of queries
I'm just wondering if you attend the webuyanycar appointment but don't end up selling the car there and then, is the price still valid? Or would you have to start a new quote and go through the process again? Reason I'm asking is WBAC have offered more than Evans Halshaw (both online quotes) so I was hoping to go to the…

Car bodywork repair
I've scraped the wheel arch on my Mini. Some wide and deepish scratches, although no dents. Any advice on how much I could expect to pay to have the scratches repaired at a body shop?
