Between applying to transfer of a cherished number and getting the OK I sold the donor car to the local car breaker as I needed the space. The DVLA wanted to inspect the vehicle so I rang the breaker, who informed me that the car had gone in the pot. I rang the DVLA who informed me I would loose the registration. What do I do ? I tried the AA but they have got rid of their legal

Hi, I've been looking into buying an old London Cab (a Fairway) and took one out for a test drive. So it has a 2.7L diesel engine and sounds not unlike a Landrover. As expected, it was a little on the noisy side--largely noise from the engine. I've found some places on the net who sell "sound-proofing" solutions aimed at older Land Rovers, motor homes, or Taxis. Now I'm a little skeptical...

A friend is about to buy a car from a neighbour of his , but i would like to know , if theres any numbers that can be called to check out the car for free? or at least find something out about the car ? Thanks

The quality of the device supplied by Tom Tom is not great. Someone posted here a while back that they were getting a third party charger off eBay. There was no report back on how they got on. Anyone having better luck with a third party device? Tricky

gotta Pug 106, S Reg with 1.1 engine. When I start her up there is a gurgling sound - can go on for quite a while when engine running. No warning lights come on. Temp seems o.k. too.Garage renewed the water/anti-freeze. Not sure if there is an airlock in the system or maybe in the heater system. Should I just blast eh heater on hot for a while and see if that clears it.

Don't suppose anyone knows off the top of my head if a 54 plate Punto will have CAN-BUS wiring (specifically I'm thinking of changing the stereo in one) Thanks -- Alex Piece by piece the penguins have taken my sanity www.drzoidberg.co.uk www.ebayfaq.co.uk

Isn't the phrase 'private car dealer' a contradiction in terms? Either they are a private person selling a car (in which case they won't do part-exchange) or they are a trader/dealer who is operating as a business. You obviously mean the latter and there is no definite answer. A proper trader/dealer will be OK with part-exchange because he can always sell your car on at trade value if he does...

Cross-posted to uk.legal My wife has protected no claims bonus and this also covers "own fault" claims. This is more of a legal question really. The stupid woman has just come home from work and told me that she's had a bump in a car park - no other people or cars involved, just one of the fence posts. Seems that someone had parked too close to her and she couldn't get in her car at the...

We are wanting to insure her car, a friend of mine said insurance need not be an enormous amount as some companies do waiver this if a course is taken. Does anyone no of any insurance companies who do this and any suggestions....

Ed Chilada ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : In a very general sense, would a private car dealer prefer that I just wanted to buy their car rather than trade something in? I could probably sell mine easily enough privately, but I want to know whether I'd be better off doing that and then approaching the dealer with the cash? I'd say it...
