I've just spent about £10k on a new engine++, so I feel I have to keep the car. Tie rods, ends, brakepads, rotors, new bushes etc on order now. Prepearing to keep him for several years! And I just love him.... Embarassed

Unfortunately very old news as they have stopped selling policies since 1st Sept (or was it Oct) 2009 ISTR. I miss them but, touch wood, havent had to claim from the new peeps yet. Whistle

Hi Everyone - New on here. Had my D3 since February 2005. Had the D2 before that and the D1 before that. However this is the longest I've ever kept a car and can see me keeping it for at least another 5 years. Driven it down to the Costa del Sol and back twice now and no problems. Let's hope it stays that way.

Enjoy the forum and all the posts.
