    Motor Claiming from your own insurance to repair badly damaged vehicle

    Thanks for your quick replies, I don’t think he has step back or bonus protection on his policy, although, I’ve been told that the bonus protection is a pointless add on to your policy as in the event of an accident, the insurance company still records the claim on your record and raise your...

    Best Tyres for 08 Mondeo

    Have the alignment checked but I don’t think that would make your tyres appear to melt away, rather tear the inside or the outside of them if Alignment was off but worth checking. I think the tires you’re using are maybe not designed for long journey big mileage driving. maybe the tires are a...

It took the gardai 4 days ( It happened late on a Friday Afternoon, so couldn’t get in touch with Shannon until Monday...

    Hit by uninsured car

    Apologies, I didn’t no about the UK Fund at all. I don’t think from a quick read through the website, that it has a wider ranging brief or would be a better model as the OP will still possibly have to end up claiming from her own Insurance to get back on the road quickly as the MIB takes at...

    Hit by uninsured car

    Yes, you could actually be correct on that as she says Police and not the Gardai. In the UK it would affect her bonus and price of next year’s policy also. I think the MIBI is actually a good idea, surprised the UK has not picked up on this also giving the large amount of accidents with...

    Garage Overcharging for clutch/gear box?

    I have to say, that is the best 1 iv heard yet!!.. your clutch went and we had to replace your gearbox!!. NOT POSSIBLE!!.. as a bell housing seperates the clutch from the mechaics of the gearbox. Most parts are available to purchase for your gearbox anyway so they wouldnt have had to replace...

    Call up The Vehicle Licence section in Shannon or even your local tax office and give them the reg, If it is now in the possion of a dealer then the vehicle is still registered to the privious owner with the tax office as a dealer does not put his name on the book of every car he takes in on...
