I wonder what exactly is included in the term "electrical"? That could mean the wiring, computers, in-car entertainment or possibly ignition system. It's a bit of a broad brush.

So none of them are Vauxhalls (you're so funny) except for the ancient Corsa B the women is looking at in the initial photograph? However, most of them are "luxury" brands that should try harder.

Another ad for waranty direct. HJ's mate knows how to peddle biased stats as fact... wonder why the papers/mags fall for it.... easy "copy" I guess.

So you noticed her too did you, she looks very reliable doesn't she (and the Corsa B wasn't too bad either ISTR)

I might be wrong but I suspect she does not drive a Corsa B. Not in that dress anyway.

EDIT: wheel arches too flared for a Corsa?

I suppose LR/RR will feature quite heavily, if you had a mad moment and bought one you wouldn't dream of risking actually driving anywhere in it without a warranty of some sort and full recovery breakdown cover...would anyone with any sense buy a RR...the same people presumably purchased a WD warranty with similar product research criteria then, ie none.

Sally Morgan (the medium) travels up-to 60,000 miles per annum in her R/R, but then she has 'connections'.

The 2004-09 Grand Scenic is in the unreliable list. The 2003-09 Scenic is in the most reliable list. Its amazing the effect of an extra row of seats !
