No. But I have two retired greyhounds.

I'm having to use my local Shell garage for charging at the moment due to the CCU fault. I had the same problem with the "Finished. Unplug vehicle" message and I think it's because when you swipe your payment card for some reason it thinks you've swiped it twice. Once to start and the second to...

I was trying to work out if you haven't got kids or dogs, why haven't you got any money. Then I realised....wife 🤣

Were both dealers part of the Glyn Hopkin's group? Perhaps you need to go further afield.

That's what I thought but apparently the major components have their serial number registered to each car. I guess it's to stop fraudulent warranty claims. FIAT = Fart In A Tin and after having a Fiat 500 as a courtesy car even that is optimistic.

As @Pebble says, there are a lot of factors which effect the insurance premium but that seems a fair price. The premium of the Ibiza will always be lower as it's in insurance groups 2 to 19 and the MG4 is in groups 27 to 40 depending on the model.
