Should my Civic's brakes be changed under warranty?
I recently purchased a 2012 Honda Civic, the garage gave me 12 months warranty, we're two months in. However, I noticed the brake discs on the two back wheels are heavily scored. I returned to the garage to get them replaced. They said it wasn't necessary and so wouldn't be covered by the warranty. They said there was no danger but will this cause me problems down the line?

What do you think of dealer delivery charges?
Hi,
What are your views on the lack of transparency of dealers' delivery and related charges that get added to the brochure price of cars? Surely it is in the consumer's best interest to know the actual price of a car up front?

Is my Nissan Micra's head gasket gone?
I have a 2003 Nissan Micra 1.2 and I am forever putting coolant in it. The person I bought it off said it was the radiator and replaced it but, I have since taken it to another person for them to tell me it's the head gasket and will cost me the price of a new engine if that is the case. I have no water oil mixing just the temp light coming on so I add coolant.
Any help appreciated
