Having just bought a Spider to go with the GTV, I've managed to get both insured with Admiral on a multi-car policy for just over £500 for 8000 miles each including business use with £250 excess which I was quite pleased with with no claims on just one of the cars. Next on the list was breakdown...

Funny I should see this article today as I was held up yesterday on the A34 as a result of a car having its nearside front suspension ripped off when a manhole cover must have been ripped out as it was in the outside lane. rac-sees-24% rise-in-vehicles-damaged-by-potholes We've had next to no...

Has anybody done a journey in the actual amount of time given by RAC route planner? I take it, they don't take into account.....roadworks, lane closures due to breakdowns/accidents, stopping for a pi**, traffic lights, etc. but actually doing the whole route at the allotted speed limits in place...

IS YOUR CAR A MEMBER OF THE RAC? It's worth checking, when I called them for the first time for a flat battery I found out my car is the member, not me and because I hadn't told the that I'd changed my car I had to pay them £25 to change their records, ok I didn't read the T & C's, so that's...

Hi I am new here, and in the process of buying a 4 yr old Mito. It has low mileage, ~5000, but the owners did no service on it. The dealer has done an MOT and fairly basic service. The car looks like it's come out of the factory. I have test driven it, all seems ok, but I am no expert about the...

So the last thing I wanted to do was sit in the car on a Saturday afternoon waiting for a recovery! Treated the car to a new set of rear boots as I could see cords on the old ones and flippantly said give it a wash and hover out as it hasn't been done all winter and now the thing won't start...

It was difficult to start leaving work last night. It was more difficult to start leaving home a couple of hours later, then it stopped completely 200 yards down the road. I pushed it home and called the RAC out this morning. The patrol man diagnosed low fuel pressure and took it up to my...

Is it just me? I have had nothing but trouble with them. The Patrolmen on the ground are first class but as for the rest of them, well! After their approved repaired damaged my chassis rails by using them as jacking points and denied all responsibility the RAC in association with Europcar...

Having had a strange rattling sound from the OSF wheel on the 159 investigated, the diagnosis was knackered wheel bearing, even at 87k miles the RAC warranty is footing the bill.:thumbs:

Guys, Some advice please! Having broken down in Sussex the RAC persuaded me to get a repair done locally than them spend £800 relaying it back to Newcastle. After a catalogue of errors I get it home only to find a brake fluid leak. I take it to my local garage who confirms damage to the brake...

Its a long story, but we couldn't afford a Mito that I liked (QV:lol:) so in the end went for a FIAT 500 Twinair after being offered a very good deal. We decided to get sometyhing cheap to run and when the PCP runs out in 3 years go back to Alfa (or maybe go for an Abarth) I've been with the...

Basically guys I purchased an RAC Warranty when I bought my 147. The only condition of the warranty (£130 per annum) was that the car was serviced within the last 6 months or if not, to be serviced within 2 weeks of the warranty being taken out. Which I did. The big end went after 700 miles...
