    Insurance written car off and buying it back?

    Oh does a policy normally end or get cancelled does it after they pay out? Wasn’t sure what the process was if it just got suspended until the car is deemed roadworthy again to drive. In regards to the v5 it’s only because the info on various sites is confusing you always send it off and inform...

    My dad is having a stressful time with the insurance considering they are one of the most well known reputable companies the staff who answer the phones sat at home don’t seem to have a clue when it comes to the job. Still no idea if the v5 is supposed to be sent to them now they have paid out...

    Insurance written car off and buying it back?

    Thanks for the info that’s what I was thinking until the guy at the garage who used to own a 220 said the diesel front bumper won’t fit which I found strange given they look exactly the same. I noticed a few eBay sellers listing them as st220 bumper or ST Td bumper there’s actually a decent...

    Oh really I thought a normal wing would have I forgot about them being flared arches. It’s black the car. Do you know if the front bumper from the ST diesel fits the ST220? It looks exactly the same but a guy at my local garage said it won’t fit the 220 if it’s from the diesel ST? I’m not on...

    Insurance written car off and buying it back?

    The wing, bonnet headlight and front bumper all need replacing. The front bumper is proving a nightmare to find they are very rare some sellers on eBay wanting upto £400 for front bumpers but the wing and bonnet should be easy to get hold of from a standard Mondeo

    The Mondeo is no more

    Sad to hear it’s the end of the Mondeo they have always been good reliable cars offering excellent value for money. The average Mondeo family man was replaced years ago by 320d/Audi A4 S Line man who wants to look like he’s made it in life with his premium German badge. I still get the...

    How much does 3 points increase your premium? And when to declare it?

    Yeh I’ll just wait now I think even though the code must be cu30 as someone posted earlier I’m best waiting until my license actually comes back with the offence code and points on. Especially since the insurance company couldn’t actually find the code on there system. They have made a note I am...

    Oh yes lol thanks. It’s just with it being in alphabetical order and my code on the forms being RC I couldn’t find it. So is that what will show on my license when I get it back CU30 for insufficient tread? Surprised the insurance company couldn’t find it either. Now they have made a note on my...

    My card number and expiry date printed on receipt

    So to sum it all up because there’s conflicting replies it’s normal for a merchant copy to show all 16 digits and expiry date of a card and the customer copy only shows the last 4 digits but I didn’t get a customer copy because it was contactless I paid by? It’s just the fact the restaurant was...
