    Private Registration - Worth Selling?

    Do you actually have to physically take the plates off the previous car - I can't do this as its been salvaged? Can the Reg be transferred straight on to someone else's car? (form V317?) What sort of timescale would it take for the transfer to go through?

    Private Registration - Worth Selling?

    Hi My car has (very) recently been written off (long story) but i noticed the insurance company give you the option of removing a private registration before they scrap the car. The only problem here is the plate (S3 VPR) is the original registration that was on the car so there is no other...

    The problem is any costs involved (insurance etc) may be harder to recover than if I go down the hire car route? The problem with the insurance company is with when they are defining the period of repair. Even though the garage have been given approval to do the work, they are saying the...

    Insurance Accident Repair Problem

    Elephant are terrible - You can't get a decision about anything out of them. I was hoping to use my insurance company (who have ok'd the work to be carried out) as I'd only have to pay my excess then they would pursue the council for the rest. I was also thinking they would supply me for a...

    Servicing - Edinburgh Area

    If time wasn't an issue Star Performance would be my choice but its easier for me if its somewhere local as I need to be able to get to work. I might not go to the main dealer - £210 just for the service seems a lot. If i need Haldex or brake fluid they are going to charge me plenty. The...
