    Why is car insurance compulsory?

    I think everyone knows having car insurance is a good thing. The problem comes when we are forced, then the insurers don't have to offer cheap prices to get your custom. My view is that if we were left to it we would insure ourselves because we wouldn't want to have our cars written off by...

    Servicing your clio yourself (dci)

    I am sorry as its not a sport but thought to get some advice. I tried to service the clio myself and managed everything except the oil filter. How on earth do you get to it, especially if you have big hands. fuel filter was through the wheel arch air filter was a piece of cake...

    Why is car insurance compulsory?

    What I am saying is that if I had the choice to have car insurance instead of being forced, I could get cheaper. So it would be my choice to have insurance, and if I didn't chose to have it then I would be responsible if someone else bumps me when its not my fault.

    Why is car insurance compulsory?

    I dont mean to sound harsh but in this scenario everyone would be responsible for themselves, therefore people there would be a new market created to be insured for this kind of event. As long as you allow free market this shouldnt be too expensive.

    Why is car insurance compulsory?

    I agree, insurance is very important but when you force it by law companies take us for a ride. I think if it was up to us then they would have to lower their price as ultimately the option of taking the risk yourself is there.

    Why is car insurance compulsory?

    If I was prime minister and had this rule, it would have been individuals own choice to be responsible for themselves. I am not trying to be mean but follow my logic. At the moment we are forced to. Insurers say "we must put up the prices because more un insured drivers are causing accidents"...

    Why is car insurance compulsory?

    I know this may sound obvious but bare with me. I read an article on BBC website about speed awareness courses being considered the same as points on your licence http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20328860 The fact that it is compulsory and heavily regulated means you or I can not start a car...

    Critical illness cover

    Sorry to hear that about your wife. Hope she recovers soon. Funny enough my wife and I were the same age in 2009 when we got our place we got an income protection plan that would pay 80% of my salary for 12 months should I loose my job. A few months later I lost my job and then discovered...

    Critical illness cover

    I am not sure if this is the right place to post it but just wanted peoples opinion. Is it worth having? I am very sceptical when it comes to insurance companies and fear that when in time of need they will tell me I am not covered. It seems to be £50 - £100 a month so would be nice to know...

    Not sure if a discussion on turbos has occurred but

    I was thinking about the old diesel engine and how noisy and lack of power, e.t.c, it was. Now turbo diesels (and petrols) are almost automatically the norm. I was thinking what would be the best way to get rid of the initial delay before the turbo boost kicks in. Twin turbo is a good idea...
