I am thinking of buying a ride-on lawnmower and while researching I came across a company called AXARDOT. They are offering mowers at very cheap prices . (I know if it is too good to be true , then it isn't) I cannot find any record of them at Companies House. Firstly, I would like to know if...

BT is currently my broadband provider and my contract ends on 21st January. I live at the end of a country lane and fibre optic cable has been installed to the telegraph pole beside my house. The fibre optic company says it has no plans to connect me to the line due to government restrictions (...

I am having a strange problem. If I phone a number and after I have ended the call , a while later if I try to phone the same number again, I get a message ' number not recognized-contact the operator'. I am at a loss as to how re-phoning a number , it later becomes unavailable.

I have an ongoing problem with my electric tripping out. I have had various electricians look at the issue but none has come up with a solution. The house was built in 1980 and has a no of fuses. All the fuses are ok, the trip going off doesn't affect them. My question is- if I fit a new style...

I would like to know -when trading in a car at a dealer, how many times have you been asked about the car's service history? In my case, having traded many cars, I have never been asked about the service history. I just wonder if we attach too much importance to it. My own view for what is worth...

The renewal notice for my wife's insurance arrived showing a 45% increase in premium from last year. A tour of some price comparison sites produced quotes showing a 18% increase on last year's premium. As a last shot, I went onto the MoneySupermarket site. It and it alone brought up a price 4%...

I play chess on the internet ( lichess). On the PC, it has got very slow which means I lose most games. If I play on the same website on an Ipad, the chess site works perfectly. All other websites on the PC are ok. I have tried different browsers but the problem persists. Is there a solution?

Does anyone if there is a device to measure the amount of oil being put into a tank? I am one of the 70% of people here in N. Ireland who have oil fired central heating. There is always the question as to whether I am getting the amount of oil I am paying for. There is a case going through the...

I'm in the process of buying a couple of parts for a vintage car from a guy in the US. He had advertised the parts on a club site. I agreed to pay him by Paypal and he sent me his email address. When I went onto Paypal , the email address showed up for someone in Brazil ! I contacted the vendor...

Can anyone recommend a garage which carries out MoT's in or around Cairnryan ? TIA

I went to tax my wife's car online. I have to own up and say I wasn't paying full attention. Anyway I entered the car details and went to pay. As soon as I entered the name on the credit card, the card no., expiry date etc came up automatically. Something struck as a bit strange and looking at...

I was looking at the warranties that Mercedes have for their batteries in electric vehicles. I see they range from 6 years/62000 miles for a B Class ; 8 years/100000 miles (from memory) for the EQC, EQV & EQA; and 10 years/100000 miles for EQS. For an allegedly premium brand, these warranties...

I am finding that the batteries (Energizer Ultimate Lithium -expiry 2040) only last a couple of months. Is this normal?

I recently had to insure a small Ford for which there is no No Claims Bonus. On the usual comparison sites, the prices ranged from £280 to £6200 ! Surely it would be easier to say ' We don't want you'.

I have been offered a US spec laptop. As I understand it, the US has a different voltage from the UK. Would I need a new UK charger? Or, could I get away with a US to UK plug adapter? Any advice would be appreciated.

When flicking through TV channels last night, I came across Blankety Blank. What an inane programme for prime time TV. It is hard to believe that Bradley Walsh is being paid £2m for fronting it. As for the so-called celebrities, I only recognised 2. I just wonder how much they are paid for...

I have been having a casual look at the new Defenders. Maybe I am out of touch but the cost of some of the 'extras' really amazed me. One example- Spare Wheel Cover + Bright Metal Pedals+ Bright Rear Scuff Panel - £1246. Could the bright metal they mention be silver?

My wife's Apple Ipad mini stopped taking a charge. It was left with an Apple approved outfit who later advised that Apple won't supply them with batteries and that the Ipad would have to go back to Apple. After some weeks Apple have come back to say they want £199 to 'investigate ! They will...

I am selling wheels for a vintage car. I get a message from a female who says she wants to buy them but cannot collect them personally (she works offshore, allegedly) She says she will pay via Paypal but wants my address to pass onto a courier agent. Does this sound fishy? I am reluctant to...
