"Car written off 1 month before new car due"
To buy a cheap car prior to you getting the new, will involve a new Ins Policy, as your current Policy will be cancelled on write off, which will then have to be modified, at a cost when the new car arrives.
When similar happened to me I hired from a local car hire firm, you will find that option cheaper and less hassle, - no point in using the branded car hire firms

Couple of points: since 2009 many BMW auto have been fitted with the short stubby selector. This has a button on it to engage 'Park' which locks the gearbox. I used this to hold the car at traffic lights if there was anything behind me so as not to blind drivers with the brake lights.

Why do people buy cars supposedly with a FSH but the dealer does not have it to hand although they say they will forward it asap?If it aint to hand walk away or negotiate a lower sale price.

Why does anyone continue to drive a car when a warning light, especial for oil, lights up on the dashboard? Utter lunacy.

Stay away from Admiral multi car policies. In fact, just stay away from Admiral full stop.

The reason HJ may not have had a problem in 1,000 cars using "super" fuels is that if he has had that many cars, he has not had them long enough for these types of problems to occur.

The letter above about fuel advertising claims was just like the one I was going to write. It was so similar, I thought I HAD written it. It was just (another) senior moment.
