Hi all What is the best approach to take regarding getting insurance set up such that I don't need to take out policies for every car I might own/ drive, e.g. like a trade policy? i.e. I have 2 vehicles just now on a multicar, but plan to get another car soon, and sell one of my current cars, in a month or two. Normally you can phone up can change to the other car, but I don't

What is a Focus mk1.5? What does the 1.5 mean?

Conclusion "The Rover 75 is and remains "exotic", BMW ownership has not changed things . But in spite of poor build quality, moody electronics and numerous other poor characteristics of the 75 it has the merit of being rare . My tip: If you are looking for an oddball car and you are not afraid of visits to the mechanic consider the Rover 75. If you're someone who attaches importance to build...

Band K includes vehicles over 225g/km but registered pre March 2006. Otherwise, these would fall into band L, which costs nearly £200 a year more. Does anyone know whether this concession is due to be phased out? If so, when? -- Take it easy on the kid, SilverFox316; everybody kills Hitler on their first trip.

The majority of driving have seen recently i would suggest; 1. Get the revs to at least half throttle, mybe more, say 3500-3750 in a diesel and 5-5500+ in a petrol 2. Depress clutch, engage 1st gear, let clutch out and increase revs as the clutch bites. 3. Once you have the wheels in motion, press the accelerator firmly into the floor carpet and keep it there. The rev limiter serves to...

Sorry all, just looking for inspirational ideas... £5000-12000 for a "family car" that the misses can use for work (60 motorway miles a day). Replacing a tired 2004 Micra.
