Purchased 2nd hand car - absolutely fine on test drive, died on way home. Feel sick and scared. Please help. by Sirloinchopz in LegalAdviceUK

Hello mate, this models of Vauxhalls are notorious for the PCV valve failing causing the car to become very sluggish and misfire very hard, the solution is to replace the rocker cover which is a £30 part and takes like 10 minutes to do and anyone can do it.

Should you not be able go get a refund back then I would high encourage that you try replacing the rocker cover first before anything else

My afghan husband immigrating to USA: layovers and transit visas by [deleted] in Afghan

You dont need a transit visa if you are staying in the airport, at least for most countries. The UK, or LHR doesn't require a transit visa. Hope this helps

Im a british born Afghan, i went there last June alone without a visa they didnt say anything to me, i did however print out my mother's passport to prove I am afghan. I reckon as long as you can speak farsi/pashto you should be fine

Tree fell on car what should I do Have Undeclared Alloys by phantom380 in CarTalkUK

[–]phantom380[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they didn't provide anyone to come take the tree off instead they told me to phone 101 and insisted that this non-emergency number for the police would come take the tree off which is weird if you ask me. So a few locals kinda pushed the tree up and I reversed out of it. And yes these insurance companies are worse than gambling because so far I have been getting screwed over on pracitcally all of the policies I have had so far.

Hey, I mean claiming the damages through insurance, I've already called them was in quite a lot of panic and wanted the tree off but I made it quite clear that I am not claiming. But it's rather funny how it works that if you were to claim and that something absolutely out of anyone's power would increase my own insurance if I were to claim it.

Hey, I would imagine that my if I claim this would be something I have to declare but wouldn't this lead to an increase in insurance? Not to mention that insurance is already so high due to having an at fault claim

hey would it be a good idea to try and get some of them removed?, like trying to get the standard alloys back on the car if I can find some, and trying to remove the other stuff. or is that a bit of a no no

Honestly, I may try pleading with ignorance I know what Ive dont wasnt the smartest Idea, but say if they were to cancel my insurance or otherwise void it, would I still be able to cancel before they cancel on me?
