    This is perfect as our car is going in for MOT this afternoon so we would have been stuck without one for the weekend. When I rang the 0845 number they said you need to book 5 days in advance, but if you ring the dealership directly they can do one straight away.

  • That stems from the older cars when they needed running in and for the first 500 miles you shouldn't go over 50 MPH. New cars are built to not need running in so there's nothing to worry about now :D
    Most cars these days have a running in period of 1000 miles, where you're not supposed to rev it too hard, and change up a bit earlier than usual.

    Hey.

    If I took one of these babies for a test drive am I covered under the insurance from the main dealer? i.e. third party. Obviously if there is any damage then I have to pay?

    Also, when they swipe the card, does there have to be £250 in the account of just swipe to check that you have money?

    Cheers

    Hmmm wonder if they would have automatic cars to test.. I can only drive an automatic :rotfl: Wonder if I'll get round to taking my test in a 'proper car' and stop being a lazy driver :rolleyes: :D
    Thanks for this, will call my local dealer and ask :j
    The £2.00 Coin Savers Club = approx £22.00 :rolleyes: :j.. The 20p Savers Club = £17.80.
