• Insurance- driving through floods 3 Mar 2020 (Forum)
  Well I've seen some particularly stupid videos here in S Wales of people deliberately driving through clearly deep flood water on the roads and the subsequent completely predictable stalling, floating away etc of the ruined car. I was wondering whether these kinds of actions are covered

• Peugeot 206 - Complete Electrical Loss Whilst Driving 3 May 2012 (Forum)
  No suprise it's a 206 with electrical problems.  A 1.6Hdi to be exact. Basically, when driving, strangely normally when slowing or coming to a stop, there is a complete loss of electronics.  All dials zero, all dash lights come on, clock resets (so complete power loss somehow
• DPF - Does all new vehicles come with it now? 26 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  I am now thinking of my next car. I would like to try a diesel now but they all come with a DPF. I know that DPF tends to be very problematic and the repair costs are high. This might not cover the fuel savings made by driving a diesel vehicle. I do not cover that many miles per annum (7k

• Winter tyres in germany 19 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  Speaking to a German today on the ham radio he tells me that it's illegal to drive in germany in winter without winter tyres fitted, he says you can drive but should you have a bump the insurance won't pay out? So my guess is they have 2x sets of wheels or drive all year on winter tyres? And just
