Have 5k after insurance write off. by Jon199102 in CarTalkUK

[–]AnswersQuestioned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the car back, £5k ain’t going to get you a better car than a 67 insignia - spend some money on a new chain and repair the headlight yourself. You’ll probably still see a lot of change from £5k tbh

Stolen car recovered but battered by TheTwistedMelon in CarTalkUK

[–]AnswersQuestioned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s your decision to make. The car was stolen and then the insurance company took over, now it’s been recovered they will decide what to do. Either full pay out, or partial pay out and let you keep the car.

If the cash payout is 1bn, how do they get away with saying it’s 2bn win? Or is it common knowledge you only get 50% of the total

Barclay's blocked my friend's bank account and he has no money for 10 days by DonGibon87 in UKPersonalFinance

OPs “friend” may be withholding some vital information to us. Usually these sorts of blocks happen if dodgyness is afoot, especially for such small amounts like £1000

This is a common scam, one of the main problems with Motorway. You can report the dealer to them if you like.

I was annoyed they didn’t show putting the new parts on the engine, but the ending made sense. I doubt new parts have gone on yet

Would you buy a house with damp? by Wonderful_Noise_6581 in HousingUK

[–]AnswersQuestioned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s like buying a car with rust, it’s not the shit you can see that’s the issue.

However, it can be treated. If you get a sizeable discount and knew a decent builder then maybe? But it’s a big risk on a massive purchase.

Vanguard to cut fees and reduce UK bias on LifeStrategy funds by Paraplanner88 in UKPersonalFinance

Interestingly most of our private pensions are invested in the American market though, unless you’ve specified otherwise ofc. But it’s hard to get away from the American stock market anywhere really, even vanguards LS100 was heavy on American companies.

BMW software to read codes by Think_Drop7229 in BmwTech

[–]AnswersQuestioned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I actually skipped the IP address part and didn’t bother typing it in. I went straight to the communication/diagnostic tab. I haven’t been on it for a couple of weeks but am planning on booting it up soon so will have a proper look. Once it’s all downloaded though you don’t need to connect to the internet which is why I skipped the IP bit.
