My experience with We Buy Any Car.
This is an email that i have written to this company? I shall now put this on here for other people to read. Keep away from these people if you value or mental health. Some of the text I out on originally has been cut out. It was originally put on Trustpilot to help them. Fat chance of that. I still can't get my head…

OBD2 Solar powered battery chargers?
Until last night I wasn't even aware these things were a thing. Saw someone suggest it to another on a car group I'm on. I have a car that has a parasitic drain. If you use it daily then there's no problem but if you let maybe 3-5 days pass then you could have an issue starting it. In the end I got a starter pack & just…

Ecoboost 1L cam belt change
I've reached 151,000 miles in my 2013 ford fiesta ecoboost, i've had it
serviced religiously but now need to look to get the cam belt changed. I've
read it's an involved, long job and have been quoted £1100 by ford. I'm trying
to weigh up whether it's worth it, or whether to start looking for a new car.
I've chatted to the…

First Right to Reject What are my rights?
Good Afternoon lovely people On 28th January 2026 I bought a new Suzuki Swift on finance with Suzuki. Shortly after it began acting oddly in terms of moving away and lag but I put it down to getting used to moving from Toyota Yaris to Suzuki. Anyway it eventually got worse to the point of dangerous with the car trying to…

Kia App - EV v ICE mileage
Have recently purchased a Kia Sportage PHEV 2025 model. Anyone know if there is a way to compare mileage on EV only compared to ICE? Haven't found any indications yet either in the App or on the car console. Just the total mileage and per journey mileage. My previous BMW X1 PHEV had these figures in the reports, so maybe…

PCP - Voluntary Termination Car Return Delay
I am after a bit of advice. I requested a voluntary termination on my PCP deal at the end of March and the organisation taking back my vehicle cannot inspect it until the 14th May. Due to no fault of my own, I have to keep this car taxed and insured for 6 week longer than it needs to be. Do I have any redress with the…

I’m looking at getting a Jaguar I-Pace (around a 2020 model in the £15–18k range) and wanted to get honest opinions from owners . do you actually recommend it, and is it still worth it today? Also curious how the battery and real-world range compares to newer EVs like BYD, which seem more efficient and newer tech-wise.…

Car insurance
We are looking to part-exchange later on this week and I wante'd to evaluate the cost of the vehicle change on my car insurance. I thought it was just a matter of changing the vehicle details and paying admin fees, but to my surprise it is not. They asked me if there are any modifications on the new car and I dutifully…

V2L adapter
Having seen the vague possibility of power cuts due to the US-Iran war, I became interested in the idea of buying a V2L adapter for our MG S5. That's 60kWh of power sitting on the drive, and we could easily run an extension lead to power a few essentials. So, a V2L adapter would be good as an insurance policy, but I don't…
