I have to restrain myself when Dave says he has another fault with his VAG crap...
Tonight though, my powers shone through, told him about a lose connection on the car and low and behold I was right, lol.
Never owned anything but a Peugeot, dedicated isn't the word. :lol:

I once got a quote more than the value of a car...

That said, I was 17 at the time, wanting a Pulsar SSS (Almera to you guys and girls) - the quick SR20 powered one! Mazda is cheap to insure...

406 is expensive, even here. Old cars and insurance companies don't mix!

Got my renewal quote from Admiral today - £222. Last year it was £256. Not bad really and I cannot get a cheaper deal from the likes of Gocompare.

Wonder if I should phone them and get it down even more?
