I can't insure my 1999 Honda Civic. Help!
Hi,
I am a 34-year-old with a 1999 Honda Civic four-door. NCT passed every year and I have been declined insurance this year. I have a full clean driver licenve for over seven years and no penalty points, no convictions. FBD, Aviva, Axa and AA quoted €1,300; Liberty €1,020; and RSA Via Campion €791.88. I cannot get a personal loan or finance as I am either not earning enough or I can not afford the repayments. What's a girl to do?

I'd like to change my Octavia for a Qashqai.
Hello,
I am considering changing my 2007 Skoda Octavia (420,000km on the clock) to a Nissan Qashqai. Can you advise me on best option? Other than visual look I have no knowledge of the Qashqai - where can I read a review? What trade in value/scrappage can I expect? Is it better to seek finance or pay cash?
Any advice and guidance on how I should progress will be appreciated.
Regards

Is my Opel Mokka warming up quick enough?
I have just bought a second hand Opel Mokka and my question is, what is the warm up time for the diesel engine? At the moment it takes 10 kilometers of driving to reach a temperature of just under 90 centigrade where it stays. Is this correct?
