| Comments: | A really helpful and knowledgable site for ancient or newbie owners. No silly phrases only clearly stated plain facts, which leads me to think there are some fellow engineers lurking in there somewhere. One of the best sites I have viewed in many a year, a joy to behold as they say. Many thanks, Dr Bob. |

| Comments: | Useful start to anticipating my mOT needs. Thanks. Can you offer any angle on my vehicle damage by others (£1200 cost) to which their insurer says 'take £100 and keep the car' ? Seems to me if I were hospitalised by their fault or they had demolished my garden wall, they would be liable for the full cost. Why should I be put off the road (spent £00s on parts to ensure longevity) because an insurer can give me the finger ? |
