Re: Footman james/Towergate, thanks!

Don't even know who this RH is that you all speak so highly of is tbh. :-? Do they deal with youngsters under 25 or 21 even though? Anyway, this HAD to be sorted yesterday morning, as I hadn't realised up until then that daughter was going to need the car yesterday afternoon. As has already been sai...

Re: FJ Insurance

Advertising a car for sale is certainly not a "no no", not sure where you got that idea. Try contacting Dave at FJ and see if he can assist (go via the MMOC Office at Derby if necessary). The normal way to deal with a non-garaged car is a small loading on the premium. Well not for these i...

Re: Footman james/Towergate, thanks!

Anyway!! Most excellent news!! ADRIAN FLUX TO THE RESCUE! :P They were as bemused as me when I explained the situation, and after a very helpful young man did a search for me, he came up with the goods at the same price, albeit TPF&T cover instead of the previous Comp, BUT My daughter will now b...

Re: Footman james/Towergate, thanks!

RH (and I expect all others) ask where the car is kept - garage/drive/on the street. I doubt they will refuse to insure if 'on the road' - but it may affect the premium. Does the car have a 'secret switch' - and an obvious deterrent such as a Disclok on the steering wheel. My Trav is 'garaged' - an...

Footman james/Towergate, thanks!

...for nothing! :x Daughter can no longer drive Moggsy due to the fact that it HAS to be kept in a garage as a condition of insurance. I'm going to have to break this news to her within the next 4 hours upon her arrival home from Uni for Easter. Bus for work now seemingly beckons, sorry. I mean, wha...

I just knew when they were taken over by towergate that this was all gong to end in tears, and it has...

Re: Posting disabled on 'for sale'?

I valued the comment/reply option when listing the car as someone kindly pointed out I had omitted the area which I thanked them for - now I have done a full revision someone has commented and I feel like I have either ignored or overlooked their response as I can't respond only via pm - I would mu...

Well YOU'RE a MOD!! :o 1 inflammatory post, 1 warning shot via pm , and swiftly remove offending post, then a temp ban if it re-occurs, simple as that.

Re: Posting disabled on 'for sale'?

As I have said in the past CJ - as mods we get no more information that the average club member. We get fed information that things have changed and thats about it. Its just up to us to try and enforce the rules, delete the spam and try and keep things in order! (I have no idea why I agreed to do i...

Re: Posting disabled on 'for sale'?

With a moderators hat on I can see why its happened - almost all of the breaches of T&Cs were in that section (and yes, I know a lot of you don't agree with them!). The specific catalyst was due to a complaint from a seller directly to the club head office. What I would say is that I had no ide...

Re: Posting disabled on 'for sale'?

Maybe the executive committee, who apparently saw fit to ban response on a certain 'topic', could use their clout to make useful changes to this site, like stopping posts being shown if location is not included. Something more useful might merit praise instead of complaint. :roll: Read the article ...

Re: Posting disabled on 'for sale'?

Why's this been moved to 'problems with the message board' , when clearly it isn't a problem with it at all in terms of faultiness, or is the cynical side of me suggesting that it's been moved down here into the gloomy dungeon out of harms way p'raps, all nice and quiet, dark and cosy where not many...

All very cynical heavy handed and reeks of totally OTT censorship IMO.
