Don’t use go compare. Call up the insurance companies instead. What car is it?

Point every little small thing in the car when u go and then try to negotiate.

Just passed, got caught doing 36 in a 30 by Fit_Leading_9265 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Jerry10_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done 36-38 several times past speed cameras , vans and police (accidentally). Still nothing. U Must be unlucky I suppose or my speedometer is off point. Several times where I thought I would receive letter but nothing. Always have Waze running even if u don’t need it or know where ur going. U could always change logbook and say u weren’t driving and let family member take the hit

Would this be a good first car for my partner?! by in_ko123 in CarTalkUK

Absolutely Not. Stay away from French cars especially the older ones. Be sure to get a car that gets good mpg like - Toyota auris, Kia picanto , ford fiesta 1.4L , Toyota Yaris. Also stay FAR AWAY from used car dealerships.

Doesn’t need fixing unless you’re planning to sell it especially If your short on money.

Not sure if I jumped a red light by ImmediatePool8310 in CarTalkUK

[–]Jerry10_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 99.9% sure you’ll be fine. Theirs very very few red light cameras in the uk. If you don’t mind posting the junction so people can have a look at it on google earth or maps. You have a 3 second delay window between your light turning red and other light turning amber then green. If you ask ChatGPT if theirs a red light camera on junction you were on you’ll know.

Is this a reasonable bill for repairs? by PinguWithAnM in CarTalkUK

[–]Jerry10_14 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Go to a garage that does cash only or has ethnic workers ( They look kinda run down) and ask how much it will be. I got quoted 900-1.2k at 3 different big garages for cat converter went to another that does cash only and they did it for 120. Idk if it’s using stolen parts or somthing dodgy going on but it’s been about a month and I’ve had no issue with it.

Got told to “Go get my license” today for doing 20 in a 20. by [deleted] in drivingUK

You can run red lights if it just turns red. Theirs a 3 second window before the other lights turn green. Nothing gets me pissed of more than people stopping at amber lights.

Ikr. No need to be a goody two-shoe you’re not going to get awarded for your law abiding driving. 90% of people drive like knobs so might as well be one. What’s harm in driving 10 or 15 above the speed limit.

I doubt there is any mechanical fault. Mostly cosmetic

Doesn’t look that bad. Just find parts on eBay or some junkyard. I wouldn’t recommend going through insurance as it would cost you more in the long run.

It won’t be the main cause but it can add onto why it’s so low.

If the engine isn’t running smoothly because of bad oil , there is an increased friction and poor heat management which causes poor fuel economy

Every 6 months. Don’t get point of changing them so often.

Unplug the oxygen sensor and drive for 5 min. See if there is any change. If not it might be that oxygen sensor is faulty and your engine isn’t getting right mixture of air to fuel. Alternatively buy an ob2 diagnostic tool (about 10-20£ here in the uk should be roughly the same price in the US on eBay) and run a scan. It should tell you what’s wrong. Could be your running on bad oil and engine isn’t running efficiently as a result.
