They aren’t allowed to auto-renew unless you agree to it at the time.
You can’t take out a policy unless you agree to auto renew as it’s just part of the small print.
There was a ticky box when sorting out my new policy to opt out of auto renew

That's my general experience too. Or if I am finalising/paying over the phone they say "just to let you know, this is set to auto-renew -if that's OK". To which I respond. "Non".

Found out this morning if the Jag is in dynamic mode, if you turn off the Trac DSC setting to full DSC off, it then brakes the wheel spinning wheel and mimics an e Diff.

Had no idea it would do that, in normal mode it just spins away the power with DSC off.

Two and a half rears I've had this car 😂

Excellent freudian slip in relation to wheelspin. Would read again.

First time sticking my bike in the boot of the S6 today. I think the current A6’s dimensions are pretty much identical to the last one so I wasn’t expecting any issues. Weirdly it seemed to be more spacious; and that’s despite the rear seats not folding quite flat since they’re a bit sculpted to be sporty.

My father has had a tiny, almost non existent bump - not a mark on the other vehicle - in the Yeti, the shin airbag has gone off and the ins. co. say it's a write off because just replacing that will be £4/5k+ :? :| I'd assumed an airbag going off would put the dash light on but it disnae :? Top marks to the chap(s) in the other motor and a couple of pedestrians for checking on him 8-) I guess they heard a bang from the airbag and feared the worst, from my fa's account they didn't take his word he was ok and had to satisfy themselves. Good people 8-)



Artist's impression of the impact;

Glad he's okay. Writing it off for one airbag sounds crazy! How old is it and what's the valuation?

I get that, but £13.5k vs £8k.

It sounds like they have priced it on replacing all the airbags!

The knee bag isn't even part of the dashboard and can be bought separately.

Maybe worth looking on the toob to see if it's diyable.

It’s quite amusing really - I know the dealer is trying it on a bit and it’ll sell nearer £12k because we got £10,200, but we paid (asking price) of £10,494 in September 2020 on 18k miles, from a dealer with a warranty 😄

I've had a Juke as a hire car and it isn't a nice experience.

It's a 14 reg, don't know their valuation yet.

Yep, he's already on that :) It's done a couple more things, driver's seatbelt, and the front's a little squiffy (bonnet a smidge up on one side) but I think that's just movement/tolerance in the fittings & adjustment.

If you hadn't sold it (on his birthday :o :roll: ) I dare say I would have been sent on my way to you already.
