    Just tried that with same result. Turns out it was because I didn't put a 'model' of car in (as I don't own a car!) I just wrote in n/a. I tried entering a made up model (although still entering n/a for make & year) that did the trick.

    Daft really that you have to enter a model even if you don't have a car!

    Thanks for that, but it was more identity theft etc I was concerned about. There's some funny people out there !
    Hope is not a strategy.

    It's a pretty standard thing for date of birth to needed.I never put my real DOB on the forms though.I use the same false one for all comps & would explain it away as typo.It's never been a problem though even when I have won two holidays & have had to give the correct date for travel.
