I'd lined up 4 off Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen 3 for £384 at National Tyres, but this morning spotted a deal at Tyres On The...

    Audi Insurance

I've paid the extra required to Tesco for the remaining 8 months I need cover, so overall I'm looking at £340 for the year. I'm 57, retired, protected...

    Car jack and tool kit

    I have a 2019 model A3 Sportback on order. You can no longer specify a factory fit spare wheel so I have sourced an 18" space-saver, same rolling diameter as the 17" alloys fitted. I'm told it comes with a tool kit, but unsure if this includes the lifting jack and the dealer is finding out. I'm...
