Does my car need to drive to avail of scrappage?
My husband is doing a scrappage scheme with a garage. Deposit is already paid. We have been away and my husband went to start his car and it won't start. The garage said in order to avail of the scrappage scheme you have to be able to drive car to garage. Is this true?

Can you help me find insurance for my older car?
Hi there, it's John Hewitt again!
I'm desperate to get some reasonably priced insurance for my car. The situation is that I own a Renault 19 TR in excellent condition but because it's 24 years old (March 1990) and I use it as my main vehicle it can't come under classic car insurance and no other insurance company will insure it! I'm currently insured with Aviva and have been since 2003, 65 years of age, never made a claim, do less than 3,000 miles a year and have a clean driver's licence yet they still 'hammer' me every year. What price loyalty eh?
In normal circumstances I'd go elsewhere but they know I can't because no one else will insure me just because I use my vehicle on a regular basis. Can you please help me at all?
