    Short term insurance policy

    all insurance companys have to give u 14 days to change ur mind by law. all u do is pay for the time on cover plus an admin fee (usually £25). im sure u wont have a problem as long as its a one off and not happening regularly

    is it safe to use a wheel instead of a ramp? will it take the weight of a disco without damaging wheel/tire? i'v done this before but not with this much weight. could do with doing it now if someone can confirm if it works
