I got the email from Allianz within a week of collecting the car (November 2018). This was for the 5 year plan. The email had 3 attachments which I printed off as a precaution. These attachments were a Certificate of Entitlement, Terms and Conditions, and a covering letter. When I took the car for i...

It's called mood lighting because its total uselessness puts you in a bad mood.

I've not had this with my T4 in 10 months and 5000 miles. I agree with ChrisLF about contacting the dealer. In the meantime you can avoid any safety concerns by disabling the stop/start function at the beginning of every journey. Remember that if you switch to Eco mode during a journey it will re-en...

I would certainly not use the dealer. Dealers tend to use a local 'SMART' repair service and add their own mark-up.

A lot of household insurance policies provide a free legal helpline to give advice in respect of consumer law. Some policies also have legal expenses insurance. Citizens Advice Bureau (available online) may also be able to give general consumer contract advice.
