credit

Had a dash cam fitted at Halfords today, must say what a great job they did 40 minutes and I am on my way home. The cost £30 including a hardwire kit costing £20 top job. I felt i should give credit to them as we are the first to call Halfords/kwikfit and the like, and some times rightly so...

Apparently (after 13 yrs of use) my merc has a gap between windshield glass and the dashboard. I left my main credit card on the dash and it slid inside. Whats the easiest way to extract it?

Because I'm a bit bored. On renewing my insurance with Aviva I note that there's a credit card charge of 0.5% of the total transaction - what horsesh!t. Usually those justifying c/c fees argue that it covers the processing and electronic transfer etc. So bigger numbers must be harder to...

Have to pay a fairly hefty deposit for the PCP next Friday so I can collect the car first thing the following Monday (Halloween and all). With a deposit for a PCP is there any protection the credit card gives you over debit should there be something wrong with the car and you decide to...

Went to my local dealer for a quick inspection this morning as I'm getting a slight knock on right turns whilst driving along, turns out its the 'Track rod end'. Dealer submitted a claim for me to Warranty Wise, low & behold by the time i drove back home (8 miles) i got a phone call from the...

I've got to be honest and say I've learnt a lot more on perusing these forums about general useful stuff than cars however I've a little story to tell in case it rings any bells to anyone. A few weeks ago I took the wife to buy a 2nd hand car as hers was on the way out and she needs it for uni...

In our area this mob are doing a lot of TV advertising. Mrs P even had a letter from them today. Turns out if you borrow £350 for 12 months you repay..... £1267.80! A £917.80 charge for credit or 1971% APR! How can this be allowed? It's preying off those least...

Can you apply for a credit card and ask them to add X amount into your current account from the offset, for example, rather than take out a loan? Looking at the deals on loans agaist the current great deals on 0% credit cards I could make a large saving.

Hi All, I was given an iTunes voucher for £100 and since I hardly use iTunes, it is unused. I am willing to sell it for £90 + postage Thanks, Don

I got in the car after a meeting near Portsmouth yesterday afternoon and as soon as the car moved the parking brake warning went off - it's happened before but has been curable by (a) releasing the parking brake (doh!) or (b) stamping on the brake and letting it fly out with some force. This...

My recent purchase and current vehicle wasn't bought as an approved used, instead coming from Sytner Specialist Vehicles located at Tollbar Volvo, Warwick. It has 6 months MB warranty remaining. I usually buy approved used to enjoy the comfort blanket it provides (though I know others...

I have never owned Mercedes Benz so decided to try one instead of my usual BMW and Saab. Went to the showroom and drove the CLC 160 that is a bigger difference to a 2.0 turbo engine but I liked the car. Put down a deposit of 1000 pounds and the dealer came back telling me that it would take 12...

Hi to you all! I'm new to the club and if I'm regurgitating old threads, then do forgive me. I recently acquired 1996 W202 C180 (auto, of course). I've already upgraded the wheels to 17" AMG'S with 245/45/17 tyres. My predicament lies in the fact that performance of the car feels what can only...

Is the credit crunch hitting car maintenance? Driving home last week at night I pulled slightly to the right to miss some roadworks, offside wheels just over the white line I saw what I thought was a motorbike coming in the other direction, at the last minute I realised it was a car with the...

Evening all. Well thanks to another bloody nail and bad tracking had to purchase 4 new tyres. Thanks to the bankers of the world, i decided to research cheaper makes through web reviews and eventually chose Falken 452's for the 98 320sl, replacing eagle f1's with a few hundred miles left in...
