    Gas Boiler Problem

    Do you think that's to much to pay? He told me about the Grant. He charges €2700 and I get a grant for €700. So it costs me €2k. Still seems a lot. He didn't say a power flush...what's the difference. What would be a good price?

    Cannot dial 1800 -- from my mobile?

    A lot of companies will block 1800 access from mobile phones as the costs are prohibitive. You can blame meteor/voda/o2 etc for that. Initially the charges were the same as landline access but now it can cost anthing up to 45c/min for the company providing the number.

    Possible scam?

    You could be jumping to the wrong conclusions. I rent an apt in Spain. I always get a deposit first and then the balance a few weeks before they depart. I also give them the Keys before they leave.

    Car Rental Malaga Airport - Fuel Charges

    I've used carjet for the last 6 years. They are just a broker who use a lot of car rental companies. Usually if your rental is less than 4 days they'll ask you to pay for the petrol up front. You then bring it back empty. If your rental is for a longer period you get the car with a full...

    2004 Impreza Wrx: where I could get it chipped or re mapped?

    I have a 2003 WRX with PPP. I bought the car from new and got the PPP added after about 1000 miles. The cost was €2000. The difference was unbelievable. The onlt reason I went with the PPP was because Subaru covered it. If the car was out of warranty I'd choose another option. There's a crowd in...
