You do have to ask yourself why the level has dropped of course...

Indeed, but I don't think it has. Same as the last time I looked (Saturday/ Sunday?) but I shall check in the Morning and then use the Merc 'cos I'm in a mood with the Jag for daring to flash red lights at me!

Quite ridiculous, that's so low a price. Just how do they do it?
Presumably they don't expect me to crash. They also probably need a few low risk cheap policies to give adverts like "Insurance from only £150!"

If the coolant has been put in at the correct concentration, small top ups you can easily get away with just water. Especially in the mild South West.

Like the commercials here: "Fred here saved hundreds on his car insurance!"

Yup. You just try making a claim.

That actually is with a non fault claim declared. I imagine though if I did have a fault claim, that'd be the end of cheap insurance for me and they'll make sure a good reaming is given to make up for the cheap policies!

Well?

Much better, it's possible to drive smoothly in slow moving traffic with it switched off.
