Driving to work this morning the "pressure loss" indicator came on and indicated a puncture on the rear n/s. No problem I thought, I took out the tyre insurance policy when I got the car last year.

I'd read that a few people had issues claiming so I thought I'd do it through a dealer Scotthall in Milton Keynes. Dropped the car off and got a call 10 mins ago stating the claim had been approved - great I thought. Then came the sting, "the claim is approved for £300 so there is just £100 to pay" I indicated it was only one tyre that needed replacing. The line went a little blue... over a barrel comes to mind.

£250 fitted in Kwik fit if I'd gone there.

Bottom line if you have the insurance don't get the tyre changed at a dealership and when I go M5 shopping later in the year it won't be there...
