excess

Can anyone recommend a good annual insurance policy covering rental car collision and theft excesses, please? As expected, Google turns up a number of options, but personal recommendation of a provider / policy would be appreciated.

190 miles from home. Jumped in the car and immediately noticed a crack 6 to 8" long from top edge by drivers side. 30 years without an insurance claim and so thought "pay my £50 excess, chap will come out and replace, job done". Rang insurer who patch me through to Autoglass where I had "to...

This is a post for a friend who's car is slightly over filled. Is it OK for the oil level to be around half a cm over the max line, do the manufacturers take into consideration human error (or as some would call it idiot error). Secondly what's the best way to remove excess oil. Ideally...

My car came back this week after a B service from the main dealers which was in excess of £500 (no extras) and for this sort of money they didn't even check the state of the air filters. I popped the air filters out today and they were fully clogged up and in a really bad state....see pics. I'm...

Two part question: I have a W204 C220Cdi AMG Sport BlueEfficiency Old Uncle Tom Cobbly And All Edition and at a recent service I was rather surprised that it needed new discs - pads only 60% worn. It's done just over 25k miles. I'm sure all my other care have got around 60k from discs. Problem...

I've managed to pick up a nasty windscreen chip :( My windscreen excess is £65 and my policy states "This is the maximum windscreen excess you will be required to pay, your excess may be reduced if you require a repair, rather than a replacement windscreen" So what's the cost these...

My car is currently sitting with 8x15kg batteries in the boot. It won't be moved over the weekend and I only have a mile to go on Monday to get rid of them. It really doesn't look very happy sitting right down at the back. Will it be OK or should I remove some of all of them until I can get...

Hi All, I've noticed over the past few weeks that my 1992 300TD (245,000 miles) is emitting a large amount of whiteish smoke immediately after starting from cold (especially first thing in the morning) I've also noticed that it idles erratically for the first couple of minutes but tends to...

Had my C220 cdi service few weeks ago, however, ever since, after I done about 7 miles or so (when the car warmed up), the excess engine oil comes up. I took it back to the garage, and they said there is nothing to worry about. As it will burn off quite quickly (as i do about 200miles a day)...

Had a card through the door from the postie saying there was a letter I had to collect from the sorting office. Duly went along and there was a foolscap size brown envelope with my name and address hand written on it. No indication of where/who it came from so paid the 15p extra postage and £1...

A friend who is building a new house a couple of hundred yards from a main road has just been informed by the OPENREACH section of BT they propose to charge him £4,500 for providing a telephone line to his house. :eek: Needless to say he needed a stiff drink after hearing the news. They...

Hi since I bought my W203 Merc C Class C180K - problems after problems with suspension. The front passenger side tyre wears excessively on the outside - I've had it tracked several times by MB and independents - car is out of warranty. today i did my own research and noted that approx ten...

Hello I read somewhere that the w203, ci80k wears out the outer edge of the passenger side front tyre. Changing tyres tomorrow and Kwik Fit said i needed a speacilist as car was to be weighed before alignment could take place. Phone universal tyres, they will do for 22 and said they...
