My Insignia has had a run of bad luck lately. Just before Christmas an oncoming motorist crossed the white line to overtake a cyclist. And sideswiped my car, and then they put their foot down, vanishing into the distance quicker than I could clock their registration number. That cost me \u00a31,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few weeks after I had that fixed, someone clipped it in a car park. Say goodbye to another \u00a3400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then, halfway through January, the car stopped talking to me. The Infotainment (I hate that made up word) centre died. No phone connection, no satnav, no radio, no clock, no parking assist, no anti-collision alarm, no air conditioning controls. Nothing. Not even the reassuring tick-tick-tick of the indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That cost \u00a3500 just for Vauxhall to diagnose the problem. And to supply and fit the fix? \u00a31,300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
