  I am just about to collect a new car and thought I would try to sell my old '53' plate 48,000 mile Peugeot 307se auto through webuyanycar. They've offered £2,200 with some very minor supermarket body damage. I think that this is a fair price, and am aware of the charges
• Key fob batteries 28 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  I paid more than a fiver for two 3 volt batteries for the remote entry fob for my car. They had the right code number on them but were a different make from the old ones, and were matt finish rather than shiny. They don't work. Today my SiL gave me a 3v battery of the same size with a different

• When Does Fully Comp Cease to be Better? 15 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  I'm approaching the dread day when I have to re-insure the car we have for our au pair. It's a Yaris 1.0 now 5 years old. Let's assume it's worth £3k, the quotes I got from a comparison site were about £1500 (with a £250 excess) due to young foreign driver. I'm tempted to go for 3rd party F&T which
