There is nothing wrong with the RAC using their subcontractor to resolve the issue, as they have outsourced the supply it is the only remedy other than giving you a refund. What they can't do is duck any contractual obligations, as you rightly state your contract is with them. You don't...

12 month warranty is just the statutory right, goods have to last a reasonable time. A couple of years ago I had a iPad that failed after 2 years, Apple initially said "sorry, but it was out of warranty, can't help" the moment I said that it was unreasonable that a £400 iPad didn't last 2 years...

Most modern, (circa last 10 years, Peugeot Citroën certainly 15 years ago) vehicles are factory, semi pre wired for 13 pin towing, by that I mean that the wiring will be factory fitted to the rear of the vehicle, terminated within a socket. There will be an off the shelf vehicle specific...

I'd concur with the other suggestions to get a second opinion, ideally from an independent transmission specialist, independent firms frequently identify resolutions that main dealers can't offer. Secondly, how quickly is the diff loosing oil? if its a case of topping it up say every 1000...

Off topic- We see more and more products that have the adjective Digital in the branding as if its some sort of endorsement, Dyson talk about their Digital motors, that I can only assume means it has some form of electronic control? I wonder when caravan manufactures will find a marketing...

Marketing & Convenience have teased many extra hard earned pounds out of unsuspecting pockets!

Something is only a "bargain" if you wanted it prior to it being in any sort of sale! folk get lured into purchasing "sale" stuff just be cause they think it is cheap!

I used to do some work for RSA 20 years ago, and even then their motor insurance made a loss, the “older” insurance companies are straddled with expensive buildings, lots of UK staff, IT systems that require extensive and expensive upgrades. Contrast to the new kids on the block who are...

PayPal is my preference when purchasing online, for the same reason, plus there is an extra layer of security , likewise ApplePay when out and about. l’ll only use a card when absolutely necessary!

It would have taken some force for a 13mm bolt to pierce the tyre, not surprised with a hole that size a repair was not possible.

A mate of mine runs a plumbing business and struggles to find young candidates for apprenticeships, many teenagers seem to want something more academic, or an easier way to make money. His last 2 apprentices started in their mid 20s, perhaps a little more mature they realise what the long term...

Unfortunately an RCD won’t provide any protection in the event an external neutral fault. I found this short video that explains it, and the dangers very clearly. The TN-C-S earthing system that it applies to, is the most commonly used earthing for domestic properties in the UK. View...
