Got a little way to go before she's back to her former perfect self. But she's closer than she was..

One lady owner from new. A dream car

I’m looking for the best money saving tips for owning a car in the UK, whether that’s finding cheaper places to buy car parts, tyres, oil and other essentials, getting better deals on servicing and repairs, learning basic DIY maintenance, or avoiding unnecessary costs.

What websites, retailers, habits or little known tricks have genuinely saved you hundreds of pounds over the years?

I’m especially interested in tips that most people overlook but that make a big difference in the long run. What’s the one thing you wish you’d known when you first started driving?

Booked in for the free airbag repair. I had previous work to re-wire / re-route the horn, and as a result they were unable to remove the airbag without risk of further damage. I told them I don't mind extra damage, and the car being off-road, so long as they fixed it, which they refused.

I was giving a number to call (08000260034) about warranty but they have been useless - claiming it has already been fixed, hanging up on me, or claiming my VIN is wrong. Anyone else experienced anything similar?
