Cheers,
Ive found they are best used for buying fixed price items, and can offer some good returns.  Dont tend to use them for insurance personally.

Interstingly my neighbours plans and mine conflict over fence ownership.

mine shows the fence as party, theres shows it as owned by me!

Either way we went halves on last replacement, but wierd little abnormality given they were built at the same time.

Ive used topcashback for years, been fine.
You need to get in the mindset of everytime you shop, check if you can go via there first.
Ive earned (and cashed out) just shy of £1500 buying nothing I wouldnt normally.

Shameless link that will get you an extra £5 (once youve a tenner payable of your own)  : https://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/jimbobmv6

Sometimes things dont work, generally they do, so never rely on getting it.
I did lose some savings on one years back that went under, but hey ho, not really a loss anyway as free money.

Ive used them a few times without issue

My observation was in regards to the stupidly low price rather than the company as a whole. 

They have some pretty handy how tos on YouTube 

Must read more...

Autodoc = Good (imho)
Ridex = who knows!

Splashed some fuel into the XE and removed the personal belongings, should be gone on Saturday.

Will be a shame as its a great drivers car, but then so is its replacement

Pity everyone wont be insured on that one unlike the company cars!  Which engine did you go for?

Middle of the road V6, it maybe a mid life crisis but, I am still to young to die heading backwards into a tree with a V8 at the front  (I can do that in the works cars  )

Nice, does Will know yet?  Harry's not mentioned it and they talk enough shite.....

Had to put a new AUX battery on the Merc
Horrible screw connections, quite fiddly

even access to the aux battery on my Merc is 'quite fiddly' .... I can see a terminal if I remove the cover from the back of my tail light 

This is very accessible in the cavernous spare wheel well, with the exception of the fiddly terminals - You have to hold a nut up under the 'arched' terminal while you bolt the cables to it.
