    Weird noise then shaking

    I ended up joining Start rescue with 2 car policy. As a beginner with breakdown cover, does home assist cover you when car doesn't start at home where you can request the car to be taken from home to garage? Is there a tool that would avoid the 20-50 ton press. Also regarding brand, i'm looking...

    Weird noise then shaking

    Well, it finally happened. Pulling out from carpark in gear, heard a sort of crunching noise and won't pull or move in gear at all. So I'm assuming it's the driveshaft like proghound said. Now to source parts for this unless something else could be wrong. Is this an easy DIY job on...

    Insurance costs - Renewal 2024 / new policies ?

    What makes it worse for people who are buying a 2nd hand car, is that most people need to insure same day, resulting in higher prices.

    New to A2 - 1.4 Petrol or Diesel?

    Diesel all the way. Never driven a petrol version but have had 4 diesels and 1 FSI as a spare/breaker in my 16 years of A2'ing Cheap road tax, plenty of power and the MPG, ticks all boxes for me :) However, the ULEZ has ruined it slightly overall, although didn't stop me from buying another...

    Insurance costs - Renewal 2024 / new policies ?

    I recently purchased an A2 TDi from fellow member and I was getting a quote for £535 to add as a multicar option to my existing Seat Alhambra policy. How can a Audi A2 be the same price as a 7 seater??? Safe to say I told them no chance and ended up insuring with LV as multicar on my wife's...
